The avahi-daemon is pulled by some packages and disabling it completely
will break stuff.

It seems that Fedora has gone the "disable mDNS support by default in
systemd-resolved" route:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemd/blob/rawhide/f/systemd.spec#_793

An other option could be to let avahi-daemon puts a snippet to disable
systemd-resolved mDNS support in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/

So what's your preferred way here?

I do not want to disable it globally as it's possible to just disable
avahi, but if Michael wants to ship a drop-in for resolved in avahi
that's fine by me, as the drop-in can be masked locally too

I would prefer the solution Fedora has chosen, i.e. build systemd

with -Ddefault-mdns=no. This will provide a more predictable behaviour for systemd-resolved and is imho a cleaner solution. Users that want the mdns functionality can easily opt-in via a config snippet.
