Sorry, you made a mistake here. The values of AVAHI_RUNTIME_DIR where
different for avahi-dnsconfd and avahi-daemon. The former puts it PID
file directly to /var/run/, the latter puts its PID file (and socket
file) into /var/run/avahi/. The current setup works only if
avahi-daemon has been started once before avahi-dnsconfd, since
avahi-daemon contains code to create the avahi subdirectory securely,
while avahi-dnsconfd does not. Since avahi-dnsconfd just puts a single
PID file in /var/run this should not be a problem. Since
avahi-dnsconfd and avahi-daemon run with different priviliges (which
is the main reason for not integrating both into a single daemon) I am
reluctant to duplicate the subdirectory creation code in
avahi-dnsconfd. In short: 

    avahi-daemon should put its PID file in
    /var/run/avahi/pid and its socket file in /var/run/avahi/socket

    avahi-dnsconfd should put is PID file in
    /var/run/avahi-dnsconfd.pid

or something similar.

BTW: avahi-dnsconfd should get an init script too. ;-)
