Yes, as it is explicitly noted as an "interactive tool" in the
documentation:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/gettextize-Invocation.html#gettextize-Invocation

However, there is one thing that gettextize can do, while autopoint
can't: modify the infrastructure files such as configure.ac, like
autoupdate.  Perhaps Avahi's usage of gettextize might be for that.

Like Santiago, I can only suggest to confirm with the Avahi developers.
If they merely need the functionality of autopoint, then we would just
recommend it, rather than adding an ad-hoc solution into gettextize.
