  That reasons may be better understood after reading the following IRC
  snippet:

    01:01 <erich> grmpf. why did they rebuild kde and upload it to
                  experimental, but not using dbus from experimental?
    01:02  <dato> erich: http://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2005/11/msg00072.html
    01:04 <erich> dato: yeah, but I'm now just going to uninstall kde,
                  since I want to test the new gnome, which uses the new
                  dbus...
    01:05 <erich> they're just making the whole transition of the new dbus
                  harder by not testing with it yet.
    01:07  <dato> haha, no.
    01:07  <dato> the gnome team has it easy 'cause they know that, whenever
                  they want to push the version of gnome in experimental to
                  unstable, the new dbus will have been uploaded to sid in
                  advance.
    01:07  <dato> (cause they work together/are the same people/etc.)
    01:08  <dato> otoh, if the kde team wants to have liberty on when to
                  upload to unstable, they (we) can't depend on the new dbus
                  on experimental: what if when we want the new KDE in sid
                  dbus is not ready? users would be forced to go back to the
                  old one.
    01:09  <dato> erich: you may have a bit of a point; for that, get in
                  touch with Christopher, e.g. by replying to that message.
