 I believe python2.4-dbus should depend on dbus. It currently only
 depends on libdbus-1-2, the client component, but not on dbus.
 python2.3-dbus, which seems to only be in sarge, is better in this
 regard; it depends on dbus (actually, the old package dbus-1).
 
 I found this out when I tried to install smart-notifier, which depends
 on python2.4-dbus. It did not pull in dbus. Instead, smart-notifier
 bombed on me when I tried to start it:

Actually it's on purpose that libdbus-1-2 doesn't depend on dbus, as you should
be able to use the library without the daemon (One just needs to handle the
error).. Unfortunately nobody actually does ;(

For the next upload i've let libdbus-1-2 recommend dbus, which should fix this
issue. And the people that really don't want dbus can still choose not to
install it (Although they have to fight a little with their package maintainer)

I am on etch, but I checked and the issue seems to affect sid as well.
My last dist-upgrade was about a month ago. Apart from this minor
niggle, thank you for all the work you put into Debian.

Kind regards,
Jason
