This is still under debate, as we don't necessarily want to bring
D-BUS into every minimal install. Quite obviously we have to install
the "systemd" package for booting, but IMHO it would be better to make
that fail quietly instead of adding a D-BUS dep.

Duplicating with existing report.

Thanks,

Martin
