Source: libnotify
Version: 0.7.6-2
Severity: normal
User: dbus at packages.debian.org
Usertags: dbus-launch dbus-launch-for-tests

As described in <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/08/msg00554.html>
I'm trying to reduce how much dbus-launch is used in Debian.
This package currently uses dbus-x11 for tests, explicitly invoking
dbus-launch in a way that leaks a dbus-daemon process.

It should be possible to replace dbus-x11 as follows:

* replace the test dependency on dbus-x11 with dbus (>= 1.8)
* replace "dbus-launch xvfb-run ./libnotify_test" with
  "dbus-run-session -- xvfb-run ./libnotify_test"

Thanks,
    S
