    <description>
      <p>avahi-dnsconfd connects to a running avahi-daemon and runs
      the script <file>@pkgsysconfdir@/dnsconfd.action</file> for each unicast DNS
      server that is announced on the local LAN. This is useful for
      configuring unicast DNS servers in a DHCP-like fashion with
      mDNS.</p>
