@lzaoral @rear/contributors
I am afraid in foreseeable future I have no time for ReaR.
There are endless sequences of security related issues
in various other software which take all my time away,
cf. "ad nauseam" in
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings

Do you see a chance that this breaks ReaR on the other distros (SUSE, Debian)?

Otherwise LGTM and go ahead

Not really. dbus-broker is a drop-in replacement for dbus. Moreover, if anything were to break, it would not differ much from the current state described in https://github.com/rear/rear/issues/3480.
