Hmm. Is avahi-autoipd supposed to notice if someone slaps a new,
routable address onto an interface? It looks like there's code in
there to notice it, but I'm curious if this is supposed to work:
(initial debug output from avahi-autoipd)
Successfully claimed IP address 169.254.84.168

(no new debug from avahi-autoipd)
My guess from glancing is that avahi-autopid should notice the address
disappearing and reconfiguring the IPv4LL address, but I'd like to
confirm before I dig in.
(And yes, if this is a bug, it's yet another BSD issue.)
