[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] dbus-broker Debian packaging

[Daniele Nicolodi]

Hello Debian dbus maintainers and dbus-broker authors,

I'm working on packaging dbus-broker for Debian [0].

In the packaging, I'm not sure in how many binary packages the project
should be split.  I thought asking the authors and the dbus maintainers
could be valuable.

dbus-broker provides dbus-broker-launcher and systemd unit files that
provide configuration files compatibility with the D-Bus reference
implementation, however dbus-broker can be useful in itself to implement
private buses.

Should dbus-broker and the launcher (and the systemd unit files) be part
of two separate binary packages?  Is the interface between the broker
and the launcher stable?

Should be the system D-Bus be replaced when dbus-broker is install?
What about the user bus?

Is the Debian Utopia team interested in team maintenance of the
dbus-broker package?  I would also need a sponsor to upload the package.

Thank you for your time.

Cheers,
Dan

The dbus-broker project is an implementation of a message bus as
defined by the D-Bus specification. Its aim is to provide high
performance and reliability, while keeping compatibility to the D-Bus
reference implementation. It is exclusively written for linux systems,

releases.
