[needs-packaging] python3-avahi is not available in Ubuntu/debian

[xekon]

Under Ubuntu 18.04 if you install the package Gajim the local account is permanently disabled because of missing dependencies.

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/issues/9125

The required package is python3-avahi

The python3-avahi package is missing, apt-get is unable to find it.

This is a vital feature for us, we use Gajim internally without internet, and this simply works, no adding accounts, no information or messages sent over the internet, it all works locally.

I hope this package can be added, if this is the wrong place to file this bug I applologize. I don't have a lot of experience reporting bugs.
