I reviewed the upstream changelog:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=dbus/dbus.git;a=blob_plain;h=901e0b0ce9765e65c30cb1de3c61a0f477660154;f=ChangeLog

- 1.1.4 -> 1.1.20 is a few bug fixes and a security fix, so we want that
- 1.1.3 -> 1.1.4 is a bug fix for 1.1.3
- 1.1.2 -> 1.1.3 has a lot of changes: several dozen bug fixes and two new features:
     * inotify support (to replace previous dnotify implementation); can be disabled with configure switch if it causes trouble
     * matching support for program binaries in dbus policy rules; those are not used by any dbus policy in Hardy

The Debian packaging merged all our changes which apply to Debian too, and has a more rigid approach to changing the rc.d symlinks on upgrade, which will finally fix bug 25931 for good.
