do we really have to use dbus-glib and GObject inside this daemon. I
would prefer if we can keep the dependencies to GLib and D-Bus low-level
and then use something like libgdbus as D-Bus helper library (or even
embed it).

I personally think that GObject should only be used in UI applications
and not within system daemons. Especially when I look into the embedded
world, it would make sense to keep the dependencies really small and
give people a chance to use something like Embedded-GLib (eglib) if they
have limited resources, but still wanna use standard technology like
D-Bus and HAL/DeviceKit for most tasks and not invent everything over
and over again.
