Hi,

An easy way to get an idea of what will happen is:

apt-get -s remove dbus

For example, on my system these packages would be removed:

| bluetooth bluez colord consolekit dbus dbus-x11 exo-utils
| gconf2 gcr gksu hplip inkscape libatk-bridge2.0-dev
| libatspi2.0-dev libclutter-1.0-dev libclutter-gtk-1.0-dev
| libexo-1-0 libgksu2-0 libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common
| libgtk-3-dev libxfce4ui-1-0 libxfconf-0-2 liferea
| policykit-1 printer-driver-postscript-hp spacefm udisks
| upower wicd wicd-curses wicd-daemon wicd-gtk xfconf xfwm4
| xfwm4-themes

I use liferea and especially inkscape, so will probably wait
till someone sanitizes these packages for me. I'm sure it
will happen B^)
