Yeah a requires is needed. Added to ours too.

A thought struck me the other day when reading systemd-devel (and
discussions about dbus services needed for latest gnome and provided by
systemd (but with other implementations possible too). I wonder if we
should start automatically parsing dbus service files in packages and
adding virtual provides (like perl, python, libs etc.)? That would mean
that a package would ask for something that provides
"dbus(org.freedesktop.UDisks2)"? (bad example in this case but for
example "dbus(org.freedesktop.hostname1)" might make more sense?

Food for thought maybe...
