Public bug reported:
With avahi-daemon being disabled by default, many users get confused as
to why avahi is not working when installed
There are 2 main cases
1) They install avahi and it "just doesnt work"
2) They install avahi, it's not working, they try to manually run
"/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start" and nothing happens
I think we can solve the latter by makign the init script print a
message when run interactively, the pcmciautils script does this and
uses the following function to determine if its run by init or not:
run_by_init()
{
([ "$previous" ] && [ "$runlevel" ]) || [ "$runlevel" = S ]
}
** Affects: avahi (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon should print a message if disabled and run
interactively
