Looks like it's just missing a symlink in /etc/init.d... no idea if it was there before I started the upgrade, but it's certainly not now (upgrade complete, just waiting to reboot.)
Given the general irrelevance of avahi for most setups I'd say this is a pretty minor issue, but it might perhaps confuse some users... at any rate, I'd expect the (un)installation script to be more resilient.
