 Avahi will always start even if a .local domain is present

-The avahi-daemon package, which implements the mDNS "zeroconf"
standard, formerly included a check to avoid running when a
conflicting .local DNS domain is present, as it was reported that some
ISPs advertise such a .local domain on their networks, leaving Ubuntu
hosts unable to see names advertised on the local network (327362). In
Ubuntu 9.10, avahi-daemon is started regardless.

Ubuntu 10.04, avahi-daemon is started regardless.

 It is possible that this may cause other problems. If your network is
configured this way, you can disable mDNS using the following command:

 sudo stop avahi-daemon
 sudo sed -e '/^start/,+1s/^/#/' /etc/init/avahi-daemon.conf
+
+(This change was made in Ubuntu 9.10.)
