[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#479341: dbus: Turn X recommends to suggests

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: normal

dbus package recommends dbus-x11. However many server installations need to have
dbus anyway, so I suggest to change Recommends to Suggests here (especially
given the fact APT installs Recommends by default now).

Quoting the policy: "The Recommends field should list packages that would be
found together with this one in all but unusual installations" and X11-less
server is quite usual configuration.
