Revisiting this 5 years later, does torbrowser-launcher still need 
dbus-glib? Firefox upstream dropped the dependency in v120, and Debian's 
firefox-esr followed this up by dropping their build-dependency in 2024 
(version 128.5.0esr-1, #955891).

libglib2.0-0t64 and libdbus-1-3 might still be needed - adding 
dependencies on those to replace libdbus-glib-1-2 would not be a 
problem, and does not prevent this bug from being closed.
