Hello and happy new year!
There's actually no need for a wiki or a guide, I think - all you need
to do is install the dbus-broker package. On reboot, you'll be using
dbus-broker. If you remove the dbus-broker package and reboot again,
you'll be back to dbus-daemon.
Given it's in experimental now it should be pretty simple to test it
out - I've been using it on my desktop from the repo since yesterday,
everything seems fine, both system and user sessions.
Please let me know if you find any issues.
Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
