installing mumble-server requires dbus

[hangy]

Binary package hint: mumble-server

The installation of mumble-server dies if the dbus package is not installed.
This could be fixed by
a) Requiring dbus for the installation of mumble-server, or
b) Changing the script not to depend on dbus features.

The proper fix, according to the main developer of Mumble, slicer, would be b) and having dbus as a recommendation of mumble-server, because the server does not depend on dbus and provides stripped down functionality without it.

Just a note: Right now the only proper fix would be a), because /etc/init.d/mumble-server requires dbus to be started. If b) was used, that script would need a change, too.

  * Make mumble-server depend on dbus. (LP: #202672)
  * Avoid crash when renaming tree objects (patch from upstream SVN).
  * Remove a warning when installing (missing --no-create-home).
