Hi,
Currently, default-dbus-session-bus is a virtual package provided by
dbus-user-session (and nothing else, as you'd hope from the name).
However, on non-Linux, only dbus-x11 can provide dbus-session-bus, since
dbus-user-session requires systemd. Please modify dbus, either with more
complicated Provides or by making default-dbus-session-bus an actual
meta-package, such that default-dbus-session-bus is installable on
non-Linux. This has recently become a problem because dconf-service
0.26.1-1 now depends on default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus,
making it uninstallable on the buildds for non-Linux unless their build
deps happen to have something else depending on dbus-session-bus (or
dbus-x11).

Regards,
James
