sshd and avahi-daemon started by default?

Since a few days (could be more) I noticed that avahi-daemon and sshd are automatically started by systemd upon startup. Even if I disable them with systemctl disable sshd / avahi-daemon they are still started up every time I reboot.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can permanently disable them?

many thanks

They are being started because something else depends on them. The following commands should tell you what depends on them:

systemctl --reverse list-dependencies avahi-daemon.service
systemctl --reverse list-dependencies sshd.service
