if you look at the main Bluetooth daemon with D-Bus support, you find a
lot similar things. Especially the name owner changed tracker (which we
used a lot to cleanup after broken clients) and also helper functions
for actual method and signal registration that allowed us to generate
the introspection data dynamically.

Main reason to not use dbus-glib is the dependency on GObject. We don't
want that for a daemon and we don't need it. So having something a
little bit more advanced than raw libdbus with proper main loop
integration and useful helpers is really the way to go.
