Regarding dbus: We should probably wait until we actually released a version where dbus is no longer a dependency. Currently this is only in git. And regarding libcap: we should probably wait until the .pc file showed up in a distro or two (in fedora rawhide preferably, since that would be the most practical for me ;-)), and then we should change our configure code to make use of it instead of looking manually for the library.
