Subject: python-qwt: directly Build-Depends on dbus
Message-ID: &lt;aTv7LfYMMH3E607U@remnant.pseudorandom.co.uk&gt;

Source: python-qwt
Severity: normal
Tags: forky sid
User: dbus@packages.debian.org
Usertags: direct-dbus-dependency

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

For details of how to replace this dependency, please see:
https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/replacing-dbus-dependency.txt?ref_type=heads

If the only reason for this dependency is to be able to run unit tests 
via dbus-run-session(1), dbus-daemon(1), GTestDBus or similar, then the 
dbus-daemon package would be a good replacement.
