Hello diane,

dbus-bus-introspect.xml is just a stub file for the glib bindings.  From
it we generate bindings to the bus methods such as AquireName and
ListNames, etc.  In reality we could just do this at dist time or even
take it out altogether because the bindings just give an added layer of
convenience when talking to the bus.  I'm not sure anyone actually uses
them and if they did it is easy enough to move to pure dbus calls
anyway
