[Python-modules-team] Bug#836292: python-notify2: please switch from dbus-x11 to default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

[Simon McVittie]

Source: python-notify2
Version: 0.3-3
Severity: normal
User: dbus at packages.debian.org
Usertags: dbus-launch default-dbus-session-bus

As described in <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/08/msg00554.html>
I'm trying to reduce how much dbus-launch is used in Debian.
This package currently Depends on dbus-x11 as a way to get a session bus;
it does not appear to invoke dbus-launch explicitly anywhere, so presumably
it is relying on X11 autolaunch.

This package falls into the "other software that relies on D-Bus"
category: please replace

    Depends: dbus-x11

with

    Depends: default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

(via editing the "depends" make variable in debian/rules, if that's how
it works) so that either dbus-user-session or dbus-x11 can be used. My
short-term goal with this is that major desktop environments in Debian
stretch should be able to run with either dbus-user-session or dbus-x11,
with the other one uninstalled.

Thanks,
    S
