Sebastien, great! However, I wouldn't worry too much about dbus restarts. We do not do them in Ubuntu on package upgrades because most dbus client packages don't get along with that at all. We tried in the past to add 'reconnect on dbus restart' patches, but as the number of client applications grows and upstream is against the idea as well, we just gave up.
The only thing that it should handle more gracefully is the case that there's no dbus when s-d-a is started (an error message and quitting). -- service-discovery-applet crashes when Avahi daemon stops https://launchpad.net/bugs/85063 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
