Hmm, yes. As it seems I broke the build for non-dbus builds. Should be
easy to fix. Best way is probably to make the reserver wrapper mostly
a noop if D-Bus is not available.

Please understand that I don't really focus on making every weird
combination of build deps work. So I won't fix this for you. But I am
happy to merge good patches!
