Severity: normal

Usertags: direct-dbus-dependency

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

I would guess that dbus-daemon is probably a more appropriate dependency 
here, but I haven't inspected the source code in detail. It's possible 
that the dependency isn't necessary any more - I don't see any 
obvious references to dbus-run-session or GTestDBus in codesearch.
