[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#762326: avahi-daemon support scripts use (legacy) network tools but do not depend on them

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-4
Severity: normal

/usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh uses route and ifconfig tools which
comes from (legacy) net-tools package which is not necessary to be installed
on a system, because iproute provides all the functionality and because that
package is used by ifupdown nowadays.

Please consider rewriting this script to use iproute, and please document
actual dependency (either on net-tools or, preferrable, after rewriting,
on iproute2) in Depends: package control field.
