This looks very much like <https://bugs.debian.org/771428>. On #771428, David Kalnischkies wrote: > This looks a lot like one of the buggy dpkg versions we had in > unstable.

I think the reason this is always getting reported against dbus is that it's "low-level" in dependency trees (e.g. for systemd), but it also has file triggers (for system services); so when its file triggers encounter one of dpkg/apt's recent trigger-related bugs, the system is left in a rather bad state. If any apt or dpkg experts can come up with an adjustment to dbus that would work around this, I'm open to suggestions.
