No.  If the application chooses to use dbus functions directly, it
should call pkg-config --libs dbus-1 edbus, not just pkg-config --libs
edbus.  (And ditto for --cflags).  If edbus wants to force apps to link
to dbus-1 as well as itself, it should have Requires: dbus-1.  It should
not add -ldbus-1 on the Libs line.
