The following mail from Helmut is relevant to this bug report.
So I forward it to the bts, as Helmut suggested. (Better late than never *g*)

Well it partly does. Let me summarize the good and the bad points:
 + It obsoletes my patch and implements more functionality.
 + It indeed makes a solution without rebuilding psi possible.
 - There is absolutely no documentation on the dbus interface.
 - The wake method does nothing.
 - There is no way to query psi for the current status.

All of the cons can be worked around, so decide for yourself whether you
wish to close the bug or not.

Concerning the documentation I can give a few pointers:

A quick solution to make psi disconnect before suspending to disk is the
following command:
qdbus org.psi-im.Psi /Main org.psi_im.Psi.Main.sleep

To set the status the next command can be used:
qdbus org.psi-im.Psi /Main org.psi_im.Psi.Main.setStatus <status> <message>

For <status> the (case sensitive) values online and away seem to work.
The <message> is simply an arbitrary text string to be displayed to
others.

You can use this text for a README.dbus if you like.

Hope this helps

Helmut

PS: I don't know why you mailed me privately. As there were no personal
    bits in the mails I suggest that you bounce the messages to
    498...@b.d.o.
