APIPA (or I guess more appropriately now -- IPv4LL) addresses are a timeout failure mode of the DHCP client (IIRC the default Debian client is / was isc-dhcp-client). At least that's what's running here (box pulled forward from a netinst of Jessie or Sarge), and _without_ avahi-autoipd I can get those if DHCP falls over (least ISTR getting it, maybe I never did :/ ) > > With proper network configuration (static IP addresses as first step) avahi > may be ignored in this case.
