The only thing I could find related to a stopping issue is:

avahi (0.7-2) unstable; urgency=medium
[...]
  * Handle socket activation in avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh when using systemd.
    To completely stop avahi-daemon under systemd the avahi-daemon.socket
    unit needs to be stopped as well. (Closes: #847456)

Could this be related? Note that the previous version in my case was
a 0.6.32, so that it was affected by this bug.

If this is the case, and even if the bug is in 0.6.32, I suppose
that something needs to be done in order to avoid a possible
upgrade failure as I got.
