Bug#1122714: rhythmbox: Depends on dbus, but should probably depend on session bus instead?

[Simon McVittie]

Package: rhythmbox
Severity: normal
Tags: forky sid
User: dbus at packages.debian.org
Usertags: direct-dbus-dependency

This package has a direct Depends on the dbus package, which conflicts 
with use of the non-default 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

rhythmbox is a user application, so probably it needs the D-Bus session 
bus. If that's true, then dbus is the wrong dependency anyway: depending 
on dbus is not sufficient to guarantee the presence of a working session 
bus. The correct dependency for packages that require the session bus 
(like dconf-service or MPRIS) would be:

    default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

Or if rhythmbox really does require the D-Bus *system* bus, a better 
dependency would be:

    default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus

which allows use of any implementation.
