Don't confuse 'local' addresses with 'privacy' addresses.

Title:
  avahi-daemon mDNS  publishes 'privacy' ipv6 address

Status in “avahi” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The 'publish' facility on avahi-daemon publishes all the ipv6
  addresses created on an interfaces - even the temporary one used under
  the 'privacy' extensions.

  This means that if you're using ssh for this server in conjunction
  with mDNS that you are always asked to confirm the change of IP
  address.

  avahi-daemon perhaps should really only publish the permanent
  addresses as AAAA - which are the ones that are supposed to be used
  for inbound addresses.
