this is actually incorrect. There is another solution:

You could easily build dbus-for-systemd inside the systemd buildroot,
and never install dbus to the sysroot, but in a temporary location.
After building the local dbus, system and udev, you just make install
in only the udev parts and you now have a system without dbus or
systemd.
