This package has a direct Depends and Build-Depends on the dbus package. 
This is probably a larger dependency than it really needs, and could 
interfere with use of the dbus-broker package as a system bus.

For details of how to replace this dependency, please see:

>From a quick look at codesearch it wasn't obvious to me whether this 
particular package needs a D-Bus session bus (like dconf-service) or a 
D-Bus system bus (like network-manager) or both. If it needs a session 
bus, a dependency on dbus is not sufficient to provide that, and the 
correct dependency would be:

    default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

Or if it needs a system bus, a better way to spell that would be

    default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus

so that any implementation of a D-Bus system bus is accepted (in 
practice either the reference implementation represented by the dbus 
package, or the reimplementation in the dbus-broker package).

If it needs both, then adding both dependencies would make sense.
