This package has a direct Depends and Build-Depends on the dbus package. This could be a larger dependency than it really needs, and could interfere with use of the dbus-broker package as a system bus. For details of how to replace this dependency, please see: https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/replacing-dbus-dependency.txt?ref_type=heads Based on a quick look at codesearch, I can't actually see why this package needs dbus at all. Perhaps the answer is that it doesn't? For the Build-Depends, if it's using dbus-run-session(1) or invoking dbus-daemon(1) directly, then a dependency on the dbus-daemon package is likely to be sufficient and would not interfere with using an alternative implementation like dbus-broker as a system bus. For the runtime Depends, if it needs the D-Bus session bus, to allow communication within a single desktop session (like dconf-service or MPRIS), a dependency on dbus does not actually guarantee that anyway, and the right dependency would be: default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus Or if it needs the D-Bus system bus, to allow communication between the desktop session and system services (like NetworkManager or Avahi), a better way to ask for that is a dependency on: default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus which will allow use of either the reference implementation (dbus) or a reimplementation (in practice dbus-broker). smcv
