jmw kindly unblocked dbus/1.8.14-1, but it was still waiting for a d-i ack.
I wanted to get this out of the way, so I've uploaded 1.8.14-2 with this
additional change in the hope that that'll be OK.

If the apt and dpkg maintainers think that dropping dbus' triggers
down to interest-noawait (exact debdiff at
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2015/02/msg00090.html>) will be
enough to avoid #776063 happening in practice, then I think it can be
downgraded to non-RC.
