+* Thu Jan 21 2010 Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org> - 1:1.2.16-11
+- Drop dbus-libs requiring dbus; this was unnecessary for programs
+  which happened to speak the dbus protocol but don't require
+  the daemon.
+  Note that libdbus does support autolaunching dbus-daemon in
+  the session as an emergency fallback for legacy situations; however,
+  these cases were likely to have dbus installed already (via comps).
+  If they don't, well one turned to the wrong page in the choose your
+  own adventure book.
