[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#764084: avahi-daemon creates eth0:avahi briefly after startup overriding wlan0, no eth0 connected

[Vikram Vincent]

Subject: avahi-daemon creates eth0:avahi briefly after startup overriding
wlan0, no eth0 connected
Followup-For: Bug #764084
Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.31-4+b1

The bug is confirmed on my system as well. I need to manually disable the
eth0:avahi in order to be able to access the internet.  The problem arises
during bootup when the system is trying to raise the network interfaces.
However, creation of the interface is NOT brief as mentioned as it
continues to survive until the system is shutdown. I have attached the
screenshot of the htop output
