I have no idea why we require this package, we don't rely on dbus directly. For me it was there to make the Debian build system happy or something like that.Try removing it and see whether a build in a minimal environment (sbuild or pbuilder or Salsa-CI) still works? If yes, then it can probably be removed permanently.(sight doesn't currently compile successfully even *with* dbus-x11 - see #1097881 and #1111550 - so fixing those will be a prerequisite for finding out whether it can compile successfully *without* dbus-x11!)So could help me understand if dbus-daemon or dbus-bin is required ?You need dbus-bin if you run dbus-send, dbus-monitor, dbus-uuidgen, dbus-update-activation-environment or dbus-cleanup-sockets.You need dbus-daemon if you run dbus-daemon or dbus-run-session.If this package doesn't interact directly with D-Bus, then you probably don't need either of those and can just remove the build-dep.Build-dependencies on D-Bus things are usually either because build-time tests need it, or because the upstream build system checks for something that is going to be necessary at runtime, like for examplefind_program(DBUS_DAEMON dbus-daemon)and if you don't have something like that in the upstream build system then you probably don't need it.smcv
