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.
