I read bug 503427 so I know you're between a rock and a hard place, but
it seems that bug 503427 was noting that no dependencies on dbus-x11
existed of any type. A Recommends dependency on dbus-x11 would seem to
satisfy the original bug and this bug. APT itself defaults to installing
Recommends by default now and so most users would get dbus and then
everything would just work for them.
Those who have disabled automatic installing of recommends would have to
manually install dbus (if they don't already have it), but the error
message in that case is fairly clear. It just seems to me that the
change in APT to autoinstall Recommends should be encouraging more uses
of Recommends instead of Depends for cases like this one.
I would request that both dbus and dbus-x11 be changed to Recommends.
