Apparently, avahi (0.6.27-1) has introduced this issue by an incomplete check of reverse dependencies in Debian: Development of the original Howl implementation has been discontinued and there are no more reverse dependencies in the Debian archive since lenny.
Nevertheless, I understand the reason to drop Howl and will update the packaging metadata accordingly in the pkg-ggz SVN. Am Sonntag, 1.
