Bug#948561: libsoup2.4-1 Depends on glib-networking -> gsettings-desktop-schemas -> dconf-gsettings-backend -> dconf-service, which wants a running dbus

Package: libsoup2.4-1
Version: 2.68.2-1
Severity: normal

libsoup2.4-1, which is pulled in by various libraries and development
packages, has a dependency chain through glib-networking to
dconf-service, which in turn depends on having a running dbus. This
seems a bit much for a library to expect, especially if the user is just
installing build dependencies and -dev packages.

Would it be possible for some part of this dependency chain to move to
libsoup-gnome2.4-1, or otherwise not get pulled in when just trying to
do development and builds?

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
