Installing (with recommends) the kde-base, or gnome metapackage pulls in 
zeroconf.

  kdebase depends on ksysguard 
  ksysguard depends on ksysguardd
  ksysguardd depends on libavahi-compat-libdnssd1
  libavahi-compat-libdnssd1 depends on libnss-mdns
  libnss-mdns recommnends zeroconf

  gnome depends on rhythmbox
  rhythmbox recomends avahi-daemon
  avahi-daemon recommends libnss-mdns 
  libnss-mdns recommends zeroconf

The desktop task in tasksel also installs libnss-mdns, though I think it 
does so without recommends.
