Oops, sorry for the confusion, haven't been sleeping enough lately :P

I meant to refer to lp:1508766 which I filed about systemd not creating /etc/machine-id if it's missing:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1508766

Now that /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a symlink to /etc/machine-id (on Wily desktop), lp:1508766 has consequences for dbus in that it can no longer itself create the machine-id if "missing". Or at least dbus wont (and arguably it shouldn't... seems to me systemd should be doing this).
