Try apt-file; it's designed to find out what file belongs to which
package. It confirmed /etc/init.d/dbus-1 is in the dbus-1 package ;

Description: simple interprocess messaging system
D-BUS is a message bus, used for sending messages between
applications. Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets
and CORBA in terms of complexity.
.
D-BUS supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus
decreasing latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be
low-overhead; messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using
XML. D-BUS also supports a method call mapping for its messages, but
it is not required; this makes using the system quite simple.
.
D-BUS is still under heavy development, but is expected to be widely
used. It comes with several interfaces, including GLib. See the
description of dbus-glib-1 for more information about those.

Description: simple interprocess messaging system (GLib-based shared
library)
D-BUS is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.

This package provides the GLib-based shared library for applications
using the
GLib interface to D-BUS.
