Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.6-1
Severity: normal
I don't know why this pkg was installed in my testing. For sure I did not
install it directly, maybe it was some strange dependency from something?
Anyway, this thing listens on all interfaces by default. I think this design is
insecure. It should bind to localhost only (ok, this might not make
sense for such a service) OR it should ask the user for the interfaces it binds
to.
Please change the installer's behaviour.
Thank you.

Description: The GNOME Desktop Environment, with extra components
This is the GNOME Desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive
desktop, with extra components.
.
This package depends on the standard distribution of the GNOME desktop
environment, plus a complete range of plugins and other applications
integrating with GNOME and Debian, providing the best possible
environment to date.
avahi-daemon is one of the extra components in the description. If you don't
want it, you can remove it and install e.g. gnome-desktop-environment (which
only depends on the GNOME desktop).
