Bug Description
If I install avahi-daemon and then do
/etc/init.
the daemon should start. Instead I have to change /etc/default/
This setup doesn't seem to serve any purpose. Is there some scenario in which I would invoke the initscript but want it to do nothing?
I suggest removing this file (or leaving it empty) and also removing
/usr/share/
which is just a script to toggle this variable.

The purpose this serves is that avahi-daemon will now be installed by default, but we do not want it to start by default, this is an option provided by the network preferences.
This is somewhat slightly confusing, but it's been determined the 'best' way to do this
