To make sure this is completely clear for future readers:

Yes, you were correct to think it would have been a bug if a package
provided dbus-system-bus but did not guarantee to install the system
bus service (in dbus' case this means both the systemd service and the
LSB init script, since dbus does not require systemd).

And, yes, you were mistaken when you said that dbus-daemon provided
dbus-system-bus: dbus-daemon is analogous to apache2-bin, providing
executables but no system integration.
