The following workaround worked for me:

- apt-get build-dep avahi-daemon
- Add testing repo to sources.list
- aptitude update
- apt-get --build source -t testing avahi-daemon
- Remove testing repo from sources.list
- aptitude update
- dpkg -i avahi-daemon_0.6.31-4_amd64.deb
- aptitude full-upgrade (to get the new libvirt-bin etc.)

I failed to get the old libvirt-bin working again. Luckily the new one 
from backports is working now.

So please, add avahi-daemon_0.6.31-4 to wheezy-backports.
