dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design

It seems that urfkill doesn't actually require dbus-glib, it just has it
in Build-Depends (presumably left over from a previous version that
actively used it). The dependency on libdbus-1-dev and libdbus-1-3 also
seems to be unnecessary, so that can be removed too.
I've confirmed using diffoscope that the attached patch does not affect
the contents of the binary packages, except for removing the unnecessary
Depends. Please apply it during the forky cycle so that we can make some
progress towards removing dbus-glib.
Thanks,
