This package has a direct Depends and Build-Depends on the dbus package. 
This could be a larger dependency than it really needs, and could 
interfere with use of the 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

For the Build-Depends, if it's running unit tests by using 
dbus-run-session(1) or invoking dbus-daemon(1) directly, then a 
dependency on the dbus-daemon package is likely to be sufficient.

For the runtime dependency, if the intention of this dependency is "this 
package needs a working D-Bus system bus, whatever implementation Debian 
prefers at the moment", please replace the Depends on dbus with:

default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus

Thanks,
    smcv
