IMHO it would be a worthwhile investment to allocate resources to
implement that plan, as it would benefit desktop users for all cases,
not just with dbus-broker

Copying some extra details from that IRC conversation
> until gdm learns to generate one system user per greeter on multi-seat
systems, each with their own `systemd --user`, which I think has been
the upstream plan for several years

@Luca, thanks, that confirms what I've been told before and pointed out
during the previous MIR meeting, dbus-run-session has an hard depends on
dbus-daemon so the split idea isn't possible
About what makes us rely on dbus-run-session is currently gdm (which smcv also
mentioned on IRC),
Errata: I talked with smcv, who explained to me that dbus-run-session is
actually a wrapper around dbus-daemon itself, so they are not
independent.
With user sessions managed by logind, what is the use case for dbus-
run-session in production? I am aware it is used for self-contained
tests and
@seb128 IIUC comment #17, we do not necessarily need the new Rust
implementation, but rather "just" split dbus-run-session out of the
"dbus-daemon" binary package. So it can be installed individually and we
can demote the (pure) dbus-daemon package to universe and replace it
with dbus-broker in
Thank you @seb128. I was asked to get your feedback before completing
the Security review. Get well soon!
Security team ACK for promoting dbus-broker to main, under the condition
that src:dbus' binary packages are split as described by @paelzer in
comment #19.

Sorry for the lack of reply, I've been busy and now I'm out sick
probably for a few days, anyway quick notes
The plan suggested sounds reasonable but
- the dbus-broker patch is still under review upstream and got not real
world testing which means it's difficult to have confidence it's working
@seb128, could you please review the recent discussion?
