Since when?  D-bus is some GUI depoendency.  On my console-only servers, it's
not needed, and not installed:

# dpkg-query -s libdbus-1-3 dbus
dpkg-query: package 'libdbus-1-3' is not installed and no information is 
available
dpkg-query: package 'dbus' is not installed and no information is available
# dpkg-query -l \*dbus\*
dpkg-query: no packages found matching *dbus*

Same here, but I use Gentoo, so it's easy to avoid stuff you don't want ;)

And no systemd.  Udev actually does something useful, so I have it on my
desktop, but I have machines with a static /dev instead.

Likewise, I get by just fine with OpenRC, eudev, and Monit, the combination of which provides all the functionality of SystemD that I actually care about.
