   "Return a service that runs @command{avahi-daemon}, a system-wide
 mDNS/DNS-SD responder that allows for service discovery and
-\"zero-configuration\" host name lookups (see @uref{http://avahi.org/}).
+\"zero-configuration\" host name lookups (see @uref{http://avahi.org/}), and
+extends the name service cache daemon (nscd) so that it can resolve
+@code{.local} host names using
+@uref{http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/, nss-mdns}.
 
 If @var{host-name} is different from @code{#f}, use that as the host name to
 publish for this machine; otherwise, use the machine's actual host name.
