The documented convention in Autoconf is that --with is for optional packages,
whereas --enable is for including or omitting parts of this package, and the
docs specifically say "--enable-FEATURE should never make a feature behave
differently or cause one feature to replace another".

As far as I can see, the Autoconf docs would want you to use --with-avahi and
--with-libdns-sd, have the default be --with-avahi, make --with-avahi
--with-libdns-sd be an error (or use Avahi because it's better?), and make
--without-avahi use the dummy backend? Or something.

I think --with-backend=[avahi|libdns_sd|no] would be fine, tbh. If you make the
"dummy" case be "no" instead of "dummy", then people wanting the dummy backend
can use --without-backend (which is exactly equivalent to --with-backend=no).
