Depends: libc6 (>= 2.10)
Pre-Depends: multiarch-support
Recommends: dbus

So that is not a problem. I'm great with this dependency.
I would even like it not to depend on avahi, but I am not sure at the
moment if or how to archive this.

On my server I replaced dbus by a equivs dummy package without any
negative effect.
So there should be no problem to even lower the dependency in mumble
server too and maybe have this configuration option commented out.
It's not about the libdbus, that I personally don't like but will do no
harm. It's about the dbus daemon. Just putting dbus from Depends to
Recommends header (or even left it out completely as it is recommended
by libdbus-1-3) should make the job.
For normal user, this would not make any difference but help a
responsible admin to lower the foot print of his server.
Regards
Klaus
