I was able to reproduce the issue on vanilla Debian testing by purging
the `dbus-user-session` package, which is currently blocked in our
fleet for Reasons (TM).
Reproduction instructions:
1) Install VM via the Debian stable `mini.iso` (Debian testing was
broken) with all the defaults except the `software to install`
selection was completely empty, particularly no desktop environment.
Image source was:
https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso
2) Update to Debian testing.
$ sudo sed -i 's/buster/testing/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo sed -i '/security/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt -o
Dpkg::Options::=--force-confnew -o Dpkg::Options::=--force-confdef
dist-upgrade
$ sudo reboot
3) Install GDM and Cinnamon
$ sudo apt install gdm3 cinnamon
$ sudo reboot
4) Log into Cinnamon from GDM
Note: pipewire succeeds to start.
5) Remove dbus-user-session
$ sudo apt purge dbus-user-session
$ sudo reboot
6) Log into Cinnamon from GDM
Note: pipewire fails to start.
