[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1124600: dbus: Please also pass XDG_VTNR to activated services

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.16.2-2
Severity: normal
Tags: a11y

Hello,

We are having braille output issues because the orca screen reader does
not know which Linux virtual console it is running on. The dbus session
should be pasing it the XDG_VTNR for it to know this, as the attached
patch does.

Samuel
