Indeed. I now remembered I have one 8.04 LTS machine. There, on the same problematic ISP and ISP:s name servers, /var/run/avahi-daemon/disabled-for-unicast-local does _not_ get generated, avahi _does_ start and works problem-free eg. for accessing my DAAP share.

So it's a regression from 8.04 and 8.10, and I think something should be done about, whether it's technically wise for ISP:s to have configurations like that or not. Some major ISP:s seem to have the problem, including the biggest one in the Nordic countries (TeliaSonera).
