On gentoo it should go in /etc/init.d/ , debian and ubuntu use
dbus-1/system.d because they don't manage dependencies.
But you need to correct your script, adding 
depend() {
	need dbus
}
and make it a real initscript (#!/sbin/runscript)

The avahi daemon has a build-in way to stop it, so maybe you don't
need start-stop-daemon, have a look at "avahi --help" and at the
debian script (75avahi)
Maybe lennart could comment on it.

also you don't need to name it ".in" if there is nothing that depends
on "autotools' variables"
and if you don't name it .in, you don"t need initscript/Gentoo/avahi
in configure.ac

You could post your ebuild on the ml, i've good knowledge in ebuilds,
i could help you.
By the way, install should be hard because make install works, so
shouldn't have anything special to do. I guess you have problem
because you are trying to use dobin, dodir, etc.
But i think you don't need to use it, the default install behaviour
should work perfectly.
