[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#659357: "section: devel"

Package: dbus
Version: 1.4.16-1
Severity: minor

There is no obvious reason for filing D-Bus alongside fort77 and
piuparts in the "devel" section.  Unlike them it is a piece of system
infrastructure guaranteed to be installed and in regular use on any 
end-user machine with a mainstream desktop environment.  Compare:

	PACKAGE		SECTION	DEPENDENCIES
	acpi-support	admin	Recommends: dbus
	consolekit	admin	Depends: dbus
	dbus		devel
	dbus-x11	x11	Depends: dbus
	policykit	admin	Depends: dbus
	rsyslog		admin 
	udev		admin
	udisks		admin	Depends: dbus

In case it isn't obvious, I think it should be in "admin".

(Trivial patch against the experimental version attached)
