Hi chrysn (2025.06.06_16:30:25_+0000)
Would it be an option, within the CTTE decision, to move the
00-disable-mdns.conf file to avahi-daemon? That would still have the
same effect as long as both are installed, but would remove the need for
an extra enable-package (because then on systems w/o avahi, which are
the ones where using an enabling package would make sense, mdns would
already be active).
I'm afraid not. That was a different option on the CTTE ballot [0]
(option A) and it did not win.

If the avahi-daemon package maintainers had been amenable to this
option, it may well have won, but they rejected it. So selecting this
option would have required overruling these package maintainers.
