There is also a bonjour use flag which should be considered.

pidgin-2.5.2.ebuild:	bonjour? ( net-dns/avahi )
bonjour use flag pulls in net-dns/avahi

squeezecenter-7.2.1.ebuild:	bonjour? ( net-misc/mDNSResponder )
bonjour use flag pulls in net-misc/mDNSResponder

vlc-0.9.5.ebuild:	$(use_enable avahi bonjour)
avahi use flag enables bonjour support in vlc. Maybe the avahi flag
should be replaced with zeroconf here too.
