dbus-python.pc is for people who're extending dbus-python via its C API (PyQt
is the only user I'm aware of; it uses the C API to add Qt main loop
integration). Packages with a normal runtime dependency on dbus-python should
check for the 'dbus' Python module in the usual way, without using pkg-config
(e.g. AM_CHECK_PYMOD). python-gobject works in the same way, as far as I can
see.

Does that sound reasonable? If so, I'll close this bug.

Thanks,
