dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design
flaws, and is essentially unmaintained. As announced in [0], I would
like to minimize its use, and eventually remove it from Debian.
dbus-test-runner Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but doesn't have
a runtime Depends on libdbus-glib-1-2, and I couldn't find any actual
*uses* of dbus-glib, except for a check in configure.ac. Perhaps the
dependency was removed in the past and the upstream developers just
forgot to remove the configure check?
If this package has other uses of dbus-glib that I have missed,
please see [0] for how to proceed.
Thanks,
smcv
