Not directly, but libnss-mdns requires avahi-daemon and can't work
without it.

Ah, I see. You're misunderstanding that message: "Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD
Stack" is just a description of avahi-daemon (Avahi is an implementation
of the mDNS and DNS-SD protocols). Avahi doesn't require libnss-mdns,
but libnss-mdns requires Avahi.

This looks like the same issue as <http://bugs.debian.org/856311> so
I'm reassigning it.

Workaround: edit /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf and comment out all the
lines starting with "rlimit-".
