+We did have some troubles with loops at building time when we
+bootstrapped the distribution, and we clearly wanted to remove them as
+much as possible. 
+
+A loop at runtime is potentially the sign of a loop at build time too.
+So we should try to avoid them IMHO. 
+ 
+In the case of dbus, yes, the requires are correct, but the ordering
+seems wrong during the test. So either there is a bug in what ever jbj
+is running, or we do use Requires(post) in a wrong way, or that's a
+change somewhere. In any case, there is still the others problem to look
+at :)
