Well, it will probably start back up again due to some sort of
systemd dependency.

I do

systemctl mask avahi-daemon.service

and usually add

systemctl mask dbus-org.freedesktop.Avahi.service

as well. ("mask" is the systemd word meaning "disable",
I have no idea what "disable" means to systemd, because
it never seems to disable anything).
