tag 204641 patch thanks I wrote a small patch for this which adds a new method 'ipv4ll'. This uses avahi-autoipd to configure the interface.
We were actively discouraged to use the zeroconf package in Ubuntu (in fact, we were asked to remove it), thus I did not add a fallback to this. I also did not add zcip, because in Ubuntu we want to standardize to one system. However, that shouldn't keep you from adding the zcip runes, of course. :) The patch is not rocket science, but adding nevertheless for anyone's convenience.
