In that case, I think that this patch can go into core-updates, since an
updated dbus appears to require an amount of updates similar to that of
some other packages updated in core-updates. The security threat from this
package seems relatively low to me as well.

I'd weigh more experienced opinions more heavily than my own,
though. I'm still observing how core-updates works. :-)
