Please do not do that. Both the Upstart job and init script work just 
fine without D-Bus installed.

Instead, I think that the certmonger systemd service should change its 
type from dbus to forking and remove the `-n` option. Alternatively, it 
could use Type=simple and keep the `-n` option but then you do not get 
readiness. Not sure if that is critical.

I think you can still keep dbus based activation without Type=dbus and 
a without a dependency on dbus, but you should ask the systemd 
maintainers about that.

Thank you,
