We need to change this back to a Recommends (it is currently a Depends, because we're being too honest) and allow MAAS to fail gracefully when avahi isn't installed. I don't think it's proper that we're essentially forcing the avahi service to be installed on any MAAS region or rack controller. (Yes, it improves the MAAS user experience, but customers may have the requirement that avahi not be installed, such as for security reasons.)
