Bug#638721: notification-daemon does not start automatically, missing dbus service file

[Julien Eula]

Package: notification-daemon
Version: 0.7.1-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


Since the latest notification-daemon upgrade to 0.7, it is not automatically
started, and I have to start it manually.
This results in notification not being shown anymore, even important ones.
Some programs (gnome-power-manager) display their notifications by popping
up a classic dialog box, which grabs focus and forces the user to click OK
to close it.

This is caused by
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service not being
included in the updated package.

PLEASE restore this file asap, as it breaks the whole notification system
for most wheezy users currently.
Thanks.

/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service:
[D-BUS Service]
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
Exec=/usr/lib/notification-daemon/notification-daemon
