Yeah, that's how it works.  If you expect the avahi bindings to only
ever be one file, just dropping avahi.py in is fine.  If you want it to
be larger, then use the directory and __init__.py.

Is it just a sample program that illustrates how to use the bindings?
If that's the case, it should probably be included in EXTRA_DIST but not
installed anywhere.  Distributors can pick it up and put it
in /usr/share/doc if they want.
