It has After=dbus.service, not After=dbus.socket, no?

That's a difference during shutdown: if you order against the service
this means you can still talk via the broker on shutdown. if you only
order against the socket the broker might be dead by the time you
shutdown.

Ideally services would be written in a style that they just exit at
shutdown and don't need to tdo D-Bus anymore just to exit. But of
course reality isn't always ideal.
