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 the only reason for this dependency is to be able to run 
dbus-daemon(1) or dbus-run-session(1), then a dependency on the 
dbus-daemon package would be a good replacement.
