[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1099706: dbus: needlessly depends on base-files or usr-is-merged

[cacin at allfreemail.net]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.16.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

dbus currently declares a dependency on base-files or usr-is-merged
packages. These dependencies were previously added as an attempt to
ensure the system is /usr-merged before installing dbus.

dbus is the only package in debian that declares a dependency on the
usr-is-merged package.

base-files is an essential package and debian trixie only functions with
a /usr-merged filesystem layout. It is guaranteed that a debian trixie
system is /usr-merged.

This makes it unnecessary for dbus to declare a dependency on base-files
or the usr-is-merged package (which itself is now a virtual package
provided by base-files).

Please remove the dependencies. Patch attached. Thanks.
