I think those are started by D-Bus activation when some root process
(possibly multiple root processes) tries to communicate with them. You
could use `dbus-monitor --system` to find out what is trying to
communicate with them - it might well be something that shouldn't.

Or if you're willing to try dbus from experimental, the dbus-daemon
from that version logs to the Journal with information about which
process was the first to ask for a particular activation.
