Package: dbus Version: 1.2.1-1 Severity: normaldbus package recommends dbus-x11. However many server installations need to have dbus anyway, so I suggest to change Recommends to Suggests here (especially given the fact APT installs Recommends by default now). Quoting the policy: "The Recommends field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations" and X11-less server is quite usual configuration.
We chose Recommends, because we want dbus-x11 to be installed by default, but to give the user the option (as in your case) to not install dbus-x11 (and it's X dependencies). Suggests is too weak imho.
