Part of the problem is that while d/p/dont-stop-dbus.patch prevents dbus from being stopped, it doesn't prevent another one from starting, thus systemctl restart dbus.service will not stop the current one but will indeed launch a new instance.

This issue is not in Debian and when dbus is installed from Debian this specific issue goes away. While restarting dbus isn't a "supported" thing to do, the system breaking apart and requiring restart is certainly bad.
