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?

Hi jwm. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see why not.. marking Confirmed/Wishlist. This should probably be forwarded to Debian as well.
