Tried remove+purge again, after a reinstall:

root at xayide:~# LANG=C aptitude purge dbus
The following packages will be REMOVED:  
  dbus{ap} 
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 903 kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Feb 07 16:43:57 xayide dbus[3773]: [system] Reloaded configuration


According to /var/log/aptitude the remove+purge was done at 16:43:51 so 
above reload was _before_ that.
