"While the libunity API is stable, the DBus protocol underneath is not.
We strongly discourage anyone from relying on it" -> That pretty much
does it. Unless Canonical changes its policy and provides a stable D-Bus
protocol, it is not going to get integrated upstream.

Adding a new dependency is annoying but acceptable. However, if libunity
uses libdbus directly, it is almost certainly not compatible with usage
within libvlc. Getting libdbus to work right in a threaded mainloop-free
application liek VLC is hard. The only code that integrates libdbus
correctly at this point is VLC's own D-Bus MPRIS plugin.
