In that case, I think that this patch can go into core-updates, since an updated dbus appears to require an amount of updates similar to that of some other packages updated in core-updates. The security threat from this package seems relatively low to me as well. I'd weigh more experienced opinions more heavily than my own, though. I'm still observing how core-updates works. :-)
