libavahi-client is nothing more than a special offer to C
developers to simplify things a little since it is sometimes a little
fiddly to work directly with DBUS from C. All languages may use the
DBUS API directly, if they wish. We should document both the DBUS API
and the libavahi-client C API.

(That's at least what I have in mind. Lathiat, correct me if I am
wrong)
