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.

enchant-2 Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but it looks as though
its only use of dbus-glib is in the zemberek backend, which is explicitly
disabled in debian/rules. If this is correct, please remove the
build-dependency.

If this package has other uses of dbus-glib that I have missed, or if the
zemberek backend needs to be reinstated, please see [0] for how to proceed.

Thanks,
