It seems that it's currently only failing on riscv64 from its buildd's
pages:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=dbus-python 

For riscv64, I suspect that the package uses dbus-daemon instead of dbus
to cause the timeout on 1.3.2-2. Before the version, it build
successfully on riscv64.

Ok, Will wait for the maintainer's advices for days and then forward
this to upstream maybe.
