It's used to find things like network printers without forcing you to probe your LAN with nmap. It is an optional dependency of tdelibs, but whoever built the package for your system built it with WITH_AVAHI on, and set up the dependency resolution accordingly. My copy was built with WITH_AVAHI off, and it hasn't caused me any particular issues . . . but all the nodes on my LAN that I'm interested in talking to have static IPs anyway. If you have devices with variable IPs on your local network, avahi probably makes your life easier. E.
