It is installed as part of a dependency chain.
I have gimp installed, which depends on librsvg, which depends on  
gnome-vfs which in turn depends on avahi

I don't really know why avahi is necessary (or if it actually is  
necessary), but both avahi and Bonjour seem to be working fine, and  
coexisting, on my machine.
