Oops, sorry for the confusion, haven't been sleeping enough lately :P

I meant to refer to lp:1508766 which I filed about systemd not creating
/etc/machine-id if it's missing:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1508766

Now that /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a symlink to /etc/machine-id (on
Wily desktop), lp:1508766 has consequences for dbus in that it can no
longer itself create the machine-id if "missing". Or at least dbus wont
(and arguably it shouldn't... seems to me systemd should be doing this).

Title:
  dbus-uuidgen --ensure: Symlink instead of copy existing /etc/machine-
  id

Status in dbus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If you do a Wily desktop install, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a
  symlink to /etc/machine-id.

  If you do a Wily server install, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a file
  containing the same value as /etc/machine-id.

  Minor issue, but still a weird inconsistency between Ubuntu desktop
  and server.

  Thanks!
