 The dependency on dhcpcd is sitll missing.

 Also, as far as I can tell, upstream no longer ships a separate
 dhcpcd-dbus. Unless I misread, this has been merged in dhcpcd-ui
 (which can now produce a QT front-end in additon to the GTK one).

 Dhcpcd-dbus provides dhcpcd just check the link below and I didn't see
 anything being merged about that in the commits made, are you sure
 about that?
 The only dependency that was missing was wpa_supplicant to be
 installed that the package depended on.
 Then I want to test compiling it to qt5 since the upstream mentioned
 that it works. Already qt4 is not used anymore.
 I remember using dhcpcd-ui to see how it worked when I worked on it to
 release 0.7.8. It works fine without needing to enter any
 dependencies.
 Just in conclusion, there are no missing dependencies since this bug
 closes (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031092).
 https://packages.debian.org/sid/dhcpcd-dbus
 https://packages.debian.org/sid/dhcpcd-gtk

 https://github.com/NetworkConfiguration

 Do you see any dhcpcd-dbus there?

 What I want to know is if this package still depends on dhcpcd-dbus,
 if something has been merged, otherwise I will test the compilation
 for qt5 and switch to dhcpcd. I add these two changes and ask someone
 to DD to upload them. This package depends on dhcpcd-dbus which the
 author has removed from their repositories since first upload for
 Debian.
 There is an issue that makes it possible to remove dhcpcd-dbus from
 the distribution because of upstream discontinuities.
 And I had already seen that he removed dhcpcd-dbus from his
 repositories. Didn't created any repository for it on github.

 Let's ask Roy himself. (in CC).

Thanks, I was about to email him about that. He was the one who did
the first packaging and maintained it for a period.
In Alpine, for example, kept dhcpcd-dbus:
