The consolekit dependency of d-bus is currently necessary to implement
the "at_console" d-bus policy. Quite a few packages still use this,
unfortunately, e. g. on my system

$ grep at_console /etc/dbus-1/system.d/*
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf:  <policy at_console="true">
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf:        <policy at_console="true">
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/newprinternotification.conf:       <policy 
at_console="true">
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf:        <policy at_console="true">

However, I have no objection to dropping the depends to a recommends. If
d-bus is installed without consolekit, then the at_console policies will
break, i. e. you couldn't use NetworkManager frontends as normal user
any more. But that might not be a concern for these environments.
