Yes, sorry - the way my scripts are set up to do the analysis right now,
these packages still show up in the `sorted-revdep-count` list but there are
manual overrides mapping both of these to an empty set of runtime libraries. 
So you'll see they don't show up in the `runtime-libs` or `source-packages`
lists, and none of the reverse-dependencies of libdbus or libgirepository
are tagged for rebuild.
