Bugreport relayed to the dbus package, immediately closes bug with the 
following response,

Even if systemd --user was suitable for being started by a D-Bus service
file org.freedesktop.systemd1.service, it would be systemd (not dbus)
that would be responsible for providing that file.

dbus does not handle the service file you spoke about...

the dbus maintainer says your package is supposed to be hosting it..

"This file was removed deliberately as it is no longer needed."

^ "systemctl --user" is still used by many users and this user-context 
requires "org.freedesktop.systemd1.service"

or some sort of replacement wherever that may be.

So if not systemd, and changes need to be made with dbus, you should be 
informing other system service package maintainers to now be including it.

A question I have is, why remove production features? Shouldn't this be 
going to sid/testing things?

"User units are now loaded also from
           $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/user/. This is similar to the
           /run/systemd/user directory that was already previously
           supported, but is under the control of the user.
"


systemctl --user, was supported starting from 2014,  ... there's no 
removal of this feature upstream according to the official changelog..
