Well, it does work meaning it'll sit there and show that there are no messages. But if libmessaging-menu0 is installed, but no applications use it, it'll sit there and show there are no messages. So depending on libmessaging-menu0 is pointless as the real issue is that it needs applications using it. Those applications should depend on libmessaging- menu0 if they so desire. They could use DBus directly if they wanted.
