It won't do that. --disable-kdbus merely changes the default of the
"kdbus=" kernel command line runtime option. See NEWS:

       * kdbus support is no longer compile-time optional. It is now
          always built-in. However, it can still be disabled at
          runtime using the kdbus=0 kernel command line setting, and
          that setting may be changed to default to off, by specifying
          --disable-kdbus at build-time. Note though that the kernel
          command line setting has no effect if the kdbus.ko kernel
          module is not installed, in which case kdbus is (obviously)
          also disabled. We encourage all downstream distributions to
          begin testing kdbus by adding it to the kernel images in the
          development distributions, and leaving kdbus support in
          systemd enabled.

I don't see why we want to stop developers from experimenting with
kdbus kernels, and I don't think --disable-kdbus gains us anything?

Thanks,

Martin
