-define Package/dbus/Default/description
- D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one
- another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate
- process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance"
- application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when
- their services are needed.
