If the intention of this dependency is "this package needs a working

the dependency on dbus with:
default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus
Or if it explicitly runs dbus-daemon(1) (like gdm3 did in the past) or
dbus-run-session(1), then it will additionally need a dependency on the
dbus-daemon package.
Hey Simon, thanks for the report. lightdm definitely needs a running
daemon so
I guess it needs default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus
I'm actually unsure if it will try to start the daemon itself but I don't
think so, so at first let's not depend on dbus-daemon.
LightDM exposes itself on system DBus, and it will probably fail to
start if it cannot do that. So, system DBus must be running before
LightDM can see to its business...
