Dear RT,

[ Reason ]

There is a corner case when updating from bookworm to trixie, where
until the reboot trying to reload dbus-broker results in the call
hanging and timing out. This is not a functional issue, as nothing
breaks, however apt upgrade does sit there hanging for more than a
minute for the timeout to happen, which is not nice, so I'd like the
workaround to be included in trixie.
The new upload adds a workaround in the maintainer script to avoid this.

As a reminder, dbus-broker is marked as a 'key' package because of a
build dependency in at-spi2-core, which I've since removed (but the
fix hasn't been uploaded yet):

[ Impact ]

Small, it's a non-default, alternative implementation. Only a
packaging change in the postinst.

[ Tests ]

Works and boots, and there is large code coverage thanks to the systemd
debci job.

[ Risks ]

Low, as it's a non-default, alternative implementation, and there's
lots of test coverage.

[ Checklist ]
  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing

unblock dbus-broker/37-2

Thanks!
