Remove packages dbus-x11 and dbus-elogind-x11?

[camoz]

The program dbus-launch along with its man page is split from dbus and dbus-elogind into dbus-x11 and dbus-elogind-x11, respectively.

dbus-launch does not seem to be X11-specific though, it is just a "Utility to start a message bus from a shell script" (from the manpage). It can also be used with wayland compositors for example.

So, is the split really necessary? What advantages does it have?

I think a split is necessary, but not like it is right now. I think the X11 specific packages should add a 80-dbus.sh to the xinitrc config. For example, Artix puts this file to /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ directory: https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packagesD/dbus-runit/src/branch/master/x86_64/extra/80-dbus.sh

By doing this, you don't have to use dbus-launch explicitly in your .xinitrc.
