So, we'll have to do without python support in avahi... :-/

However, coming back to the original problem. Disabliong pygobject does
disable building of avahi-python:

    Building avahi-python: no (You need python, pygobject and python-dbus!)

But it seems that python support might still be enabled:

    Enable Python: yes

But none of the ELF files installed by avahi depend on libpython.

That's weird...

Bernd, the commit log should explain all this...

Yep, I'm aware of that effort. This gobject introspection is a real PITA...
