It sounds like a bug of dependency checker.

It's almost surely fixable. Only few modules need X libraries. You
should just exclude these.

Ask maintainers of distros with:

PREFERRED_VERSION_avahi-python ?= "0.6.21"

Note: Preferring different versions of particular avahi sub-packages is
almost surely incorrect.

It's Openmoko. I guess that upgrade of avahi is sane. There is just one
important issue to check or fix (bug in libdaemon which triggers dead
loop in avahi):
