[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.16-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

During upgrading dbus to 1.2.16-1:

The file in question is under /debian/tmp !!

There are more files there, including /debian/tmp/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/*
So, when I check:

---8<---
$ dpkg -S /debian/tmp
dbus, dbus-x11, libdbus-1-dev: /debian/tmp
