Bug Description

By depends I mean one of Suggests/Recommends/Depends. Currently, with no other changes, I'd say you need Depends. Thus I think you should change part of your package to accommodate for systems that don't have whoopsie installed.

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf:91: <policy user="whoopsie">

This leads to...
arcadia:~# cat /var/log/upstart/dbus.log
Unknown username "whoopsie" in message bus configuration file

It's not an error and it doesn't break anything, but it should be easy for you to change things a little. One option is to create this user, though I'd coordinate that with the whoopsie developer. A perhaps better solution is to split this configuration out so that is will only be included if/when whoopsie is installed or the whoopsie user is available.

Thank you.

Just two little suggestions to make the software more friendly:

    $ strings /usr/bin/dbus-daemon | grep 'Unknown username "%s" in'
    Unknown username "%s" in message bus configuration file

It would be nice if the printer of this error message (dbus-daemon) would change the error message so:

- Add 'warning:' so it isn't interpreted as an error
- Specify the path of the "message bus configuration file" so it would be easy to figure out what needs to be edited to get rid of the warning.
