This debhelper snippet in dbus.postinst is the problem:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -e "/etc/init/dbus.conf" ]; then
invoke-rc.d dbus start || exit $?
fi
In maverick (where this did not fail), it was:
# Automatically added by dh_installinit
if [ -e "/etc/init/dbus.conf" ]; then
# start fails if already running
start dbus || :
fi
Indeed, changing the dbus.postint to use 'start dbus || :' shows that dbus
start fails, but the install continues:
$ apt-get -f install
