While we're touching the PKGBUILD, why do we "fix" the configuration
file in the package function? Would be nice if we could cleanup the
30-dbus file as well to simply use shell builtins rather than an
external (yes, 'which' is in base, but it bothers me).

I'd still like to know the history of why this was split in the first
place, and not just optdep'd...
