dbus would be stopped by the final killing spree. This usually looks like this
<stop individual services in reverse order> Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes... Sending SIGKILL to remaining processes... Unmounting file systems. All filesystems unmounted. Deactivating swaps. All swaps deactivated. Detaching loop devices. All loop devices detached. Detaching DM devices. All DM devices detached. system-shutd[ 51.216341] reboot: Power down own succeeded. Powering off. I don't think, there is anything special that dbus needs to do on stop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438612 Title: remote file systems hang on shutdown, D-BUS stops too early Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: (part of bug 1431774). During shutdown, D-Bus stops too early. In particular, it stops before NetworkManager and remote-fs.target, so that any network unmount will cause errors and hang the boot. This can be seen with $ journalctl -b -1 | egrep 'Stop.*(D-Bus|Network M|Remote F)' Mär 30 19:05:19 donald systemd[1]: Stopping D-Bus System Message Bus...

A quick workaround is to add After=dbus.service to /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service's [Unit] section, but this should be fixed in a more general fashion.
