 From the D-Bus NEWS file:

D-Bus 1.9.18 (2015-07-21)
==

The “Pirate Elite” release.

Configuration changes:

• The basic setup for the well-known system and session buses is now done
   in read-only files in ${datadir}, moving a step closer to systems
   that can operate with an empty /etc directory. In increasing order
   of precedence:

   · ${datadir}/dbus-1/s*.conf now perform the basic setup such as setting
     the default message policies.
   · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*.conf are now optional. By default
     dbus still installs a trivial version of each, for documentation
     purposes; putting configuration directives in these files is 
deprecated.
   · ${datadir}/dbus-1/s*.d/ are now available for third-party software
     to install "drop-in" configuration snippets (any packages
     using those directories should explicitly depend on at least this
     version of dbus).
   · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*.d/ are also still available for sysadmins
     or third-party software to install "drop-in" configuration snippets
   · ${sysconfdir}/dbus-1/s*-local.conf are still available for sysadmins'
     overrides

   ${datadir} is normally /usr/share, ${sysconfdir} is normally /etc,
   and "s*" refers to either system or session as appropriate.
