[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] libdbus-1-3: Change "recommand" dbus to "suggest"

Package: libdbus-1-3
Version: 1.2.14-2 (unstable)

I think libdbus should "suggest" but not "recommend" dbus.

I am actually on Ubuntu server, but I think this report is best at
Debian level.

My use-case is the installation of VideoLAN VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

I have install VLC-nox (VLC without GUI aimed for a server) with
recommended packages (default behaviour), and I ended up with
unnecessary packages (dbus, dbus-x11, consolekit) causing many errors.
I believe dbus and consolekit should not have been installed for
VLC-nox.

Here is the dependency chain:

vlc-nox --(depends on)--> libdbus --(recommends)--> dbus --(depends
on)--> consolekit
