Title:
  Enable avahi support in samba

Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Debian:
  Unknown
Status in samba package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  The debian developers disabled avahi support back in 2009:

  * ./configure --disable-avahi, to avoid accidentally picking up an avahi
      dependency when libavahi-common-dev is installed.

  As ubuntu typically installs avahi by default, can this be switched
  back on to provide a browsing alternative to netbios?
