The dbus package in bookworm has been broken up into several smaller
packages, so that people who want to use a non-reference implementation
of the D-Bus message buses (like dbus-broker) can do so. Various packages should ideally change their dependencies.

The dbus package in Debian 11 already had Provides for the new package
names, so this change can be made during the Debian 12 cycle without backwards-compatibility concerns.

Context
=======

dbus is the portable reference implementation of the D-Bus protocol. One
of its major components is dbus-daemon, which is the reference
implementation of a D-Bus message bus service (corresponding to the role
of a "broker" in many other IPC protocols). dbus-daemon is currently the default and recommended D-Bus message bus implementation in Debian.

dbus-broker is a Linux-specific reimplementation of a D-Bus message bus service. Some non-Debian distributions have switched from dbus-daemon to dbus-broker as their message bus. I'm not aware of any plans to make that switch in Debian, but it should be possible for sysadmins and derivatives
to make that switch if they want to.

Common scenarios
================

If your package depends on having a working D-Bus system message bus ({/var,}/run/dbus/system_bus_socket), please replace a dependency on "dbus" with "default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus". Typical examples: accountsservice, bluez.

If your package depends on having a working D-Bus *session* message
bus, then "dbus" was already not an appropriate dependency. Please use "default-dbus-session-bus | dbus-session-bus". Typical example: ario.

If your package depends on having the dbus-daemon or dbus-run-session executables in the PATH in order to start a temporary or custom session
bus, please depend on "dbus-daemon". Typical example: debian/tests/control
in many packages.

If your package depends on having a machine ID in either /etc/machine-id
or /var/lib/dbus/machine-id, but does not depend on the system bus, then
please depend on "dbus-daemon | systemd". It is not necessary to add this dependency if there is a "default-dbus-system-bus | dbus-system-bus" dependency, which you can safely assume will also ensure that there is a machine ID.

If your package depends on /var/lib/dbus/machine-id specifically, please
make it try /etc/machine-id too, or if that isn't possible, depend on "dbus-daemon" specifically.

If your package depends on having the dbus-cleanup-sockets, dbus-monitor, dbus-send, dbus-update-activation-environment or dbus-uuidgen executables
in PATH, please depend on "dbus-bin".
