mate-screensaver has a dependency on the dbus-x11 package, but doesn't seem
to use dbus-launch directly.

The dbus-x11 package is unnecessary on typical Debian desktop systems
which have systemd and dbus-user-session installed, and it has some
backwards-compatibility side-effects which are not ideal, so I'm trying to
reduce direct dependencies on it.

If mate-screensaver needs a D-Bus session bus (quite likely), the usual
dependency is:

    default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus

which in practice can be satisfied by either dbus-user-session or dbus-x11.

Thanks,

Sorry, this was a duplicate of #836033 which I filed 8 years ago. (Please
consider fixing the bug, though.)
