[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#783827: severe but easily fixable dependency problem

Package: dbus
Severity: Important

dbus doesn't depend on systemd. this package dbus does. on systems without systemd this prevents dozens if not hundreds of other packages that fail to install solely because of their false systemd-dependency inherited from dbus.
as there might be features of interoperability between dbus and systemd considered useful by or for systemd system operators, these should be kept, but optional. as a dynamic systemd interoperation seems not to be provided or available, to achieve this there probably have to be two instances of this package, a 'dbus' and a 'dbus-systemd' or something like that.

compiling without systemd libs or with --disable-systemd just works. no patches necessary.
