I think it is an install error in dbus because not all files needed to 
build other packages are installed from the book.  Relying on the 
bootscript to create a file needed to build another package is, at the 
least, inconvenient.

Yes, I know the bootscript can be run at any time, but there is no 
implied instruction to start a bootscript immediately after it is installed.

I'll probably add the instruction to dbus after I finish my current project.
