This package has a direct Build-Depends on the dbus package. This is
probably a larger dependency than it really needs, and conflicts with
use of the non-default dbus-broker package as a system bus.

For details of how to replace this dependency, please see:
https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/replacing-dbus-dependency.txt?ref_type=heads

If the only reason for this dependency is to be able to run unit tests
via dbus-run-session(1), dbus-daemon(1), GTestDBus or similar, then the
dbus-daemon package would be a good replacement.

Thank you for this report. I will look at understanding this better and allow the use of dbus-broker. I suspect you are correct with regards to tests.
