This is not a bug in libdbus-1-dev, which genuinely does require 
libcap-dev. It seems more like a problem with the deb.debian.org mirror 
provided by the Fastly CDN service, so I'm reassigning the bug to the 
mirrors pseudo-package. (mirrors@, dsa@: I hope this is an appropriate 
representation for the problem.)

You could probably work around this by trying a different mirror such as 
http://ftp.de.debian.org instead of http://deb.debian.org. (More 
mirrors: <https://www.debian.org/mirror/list>)
