Here's a log excerpt when I don't use dbus-run-session with dh_auto_test. One test fails If there's a use of dbus-run-session that I didn't notice, then a dependency on the dbus-daemon package is completely fine. smcv

Bug#1122598: gnome-builder: directly Build-Depends on dbus
Source: gnome-builder Severity: normal Tags: forky sid User: [email protected] Usertags: direct-dbus-dependency This package has a direct Build-Depends on the dbus package. This is probably a larger dependency than it really needs, and could interfere with use of the dbus-broker package as a system bus. For details of how to replace this dependency, please see: https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/replacing-dbus-dependency.txt?ref_type=heads I would guess that dbus-daemon is probably a more appropriate dependency here, but I haven't inspected the source code in detail. It's possible that the dependency isn't necessary any more - I don't see any obvious references to dbus-run-session or GTestDBus in codesearch. smcv
