Yes. You should argue with your customer that they should give you an 
objective to achieve, not the requirement on how to achieve it. The D-Bus 
maintainers (like me) do not recommend you use the reference library: it's 
difficult to get right and it's fragile. We recommend you use one of the 
higher-level bindings. So, please take this recommendation back to your 
customer and see if they won't change their minds.

If they don't, you're looking for dbus_message_iter_open_container once with 
type DBUS_TYPE_ARRAY a signature "{sv}" and then, for each element, 
DBUS_TYPE_DICT_ENTRY and signature NULL..
