As it seems, ggz-kde-client did build-depend on libavahi-compat-howl-dev, but due to the configure check being broken, Zeroconf was not enabled (this is from the buildd log): > checking for sw_discovery_init in -lhowl... yes > checking howl/howl_config.h usability... no > checking howl/howl_config.h presence... no > checking for howl/howl_config.h... no > configure: WARNING: Zeroconf diabled, libhowl (headers) not found. So, if nobody complained about missing Zeroconf support until now, the simplest fix is to just drop the libavahi-compat-howl-dev build-dep.
