 I agree with your theory. However, in this particular case, what you really
want is the DNS-SD support. In case BR2_PACKAGE_AVAHI_LIBDNSSD_COMPATIBILITY,
you'll still get DNS-SD support, just not through avahi but instead through the
bundled tinysvcmdns. So I don't think adding a config option for it is really
needed.

 However, it would still be useful to use avahi when avahi is available. So
instead I'd add to Config.in:

	select BR2_PACKAGE_AVAHI_LIBDNSSD_COMPATIBILITY if BR2_PACKAGE_AVAHI_DAEMON

(with the appropriate explanatory comment).
