Would it be possible to get some feedback on this patch?

We recently bump dbus to 1.10.24, and look how the autobuilders are
"polluted" by this certificate issue:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=dbus-1.10.24.

We've got two options: either we do it in utils/genrandconfig as
proposed, or we do it in the autobuild-run script that runs on the
autobuilder slaves.

Comments ?

Thanks,

Thomas
