Unfortunately the situation is a little bit more complicated then that.
Tightening up the security of the dbus config is known to break various other
programs. D-Bus upstream just released a permissive version which will allow
the same things as the older dbus versions did, but logs about things that
would break with the new rules. We intend to upload that to unstable rsn, so we
can find and fix most if not all issues before uploading the final, secure verison.
