Severity: normal

This package has a direct Build-Depends on the dbus package. This is 
probably 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

If this package is using dbus-run-session or similar for tests, a 
dependency on the dbus-daemon package would probably be sufficient.

(I know this package is likely to be removed so this bug is probably 
wontfix anyway, filing it for completeness only.)
