gdm still requires dbus-run-session, which is why the dbus-daemon package is
still required on atleast gnome environments, the other usecase is certain test
instances.

We could probably drop dbus-launch completely and remove the dbus-x11 package,
or move the package into the dbus-daemon package with just the X11 version.

Realistically now that we are using dbus-broker everywhere if they actually
need something they should be using dbus-broker-launch. There are still some
X11 desktops and users that might not be starting a dbus session at login even
though most probably are.
