I went to the following link
https://wiki.debian.org/ZeroConf
and installed avahi per the following instructions
apt-get install avahi-daemon avahi-discover libnss-mdns

Then I noticed the last modified date
ZeroConf (last modified 2017-06-15 10:02:27)
Should I worry or is this ok?

The page lists quite a few to-do's so that gives concern.

Here are the releases by date for avahi-daemon: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+changelog

I have no idea what your debian link is talking about.

And if you need to install avahi-daemon on Ubuntu Desktop something is wrong with your install since it is there by default.

It is not installed by default on Ubuntu Server but you didn't specify if this was server or desktop nor did you specify what version of Ubuntu you installed.

So should you be concerned? I'm going to go with ... No.
