As far as I understand is, you need some form of launcher, but so far
only one for systemd is available.

I really think there is no way to use it so far, and this should be tackled when
one pops up.

You should differentiate between installed/not installed, not en-/disable.
The system admin could install both and switch between them.

-   config files:
    two config files are needed, if dbus installed then those are used,
otherwise we need to create them.

-   dbus daemon
    dbus-brokers service file is configured to take precedence, and
this is the default.
    systemctl enable dbus.service would disable the dbus-broker daemon.

-   libdbus
    packages would still need this

-   various dbus tools
     Those might be still expected by packages.

Some package tools try to split out Dbus into multiple components bc of that.
https://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/93607/

The most common setup is both dbus + dbus-broker installed.

The launcher never needs the dbus user (digged through the source),
the settings in the config is simply ignored.

Dont know why 'ln -sf ../dbus.socket
$(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/dbus.socket'
is not sufficient here.
