I've been thinking there is another problem: dbus-daemon does not
support reexecs. This means that the system will be in a broken state
until it reboots. I think at the very least a NEWS item should be
added.

dbus has a strict dependency on libdbus-1-3 (at least in sid, it
doesn't appear so in jessie). The versioned Build-Depends on
libdbus-1-dev should propagate to the binary Depends (if libdbus has a
symbols file, which IIRC it does), which in turn should forbid an old
dbus-daemon.
