Which I guess raises another question... when booting with sysvinit or
Upstart, what should dbus do when /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a symlink
to /etc/machine-id and the latter doesn't exist?

Title:
  dbus-uuidgen --ensure: Symlink instead of copy existing /etc/machine-
  id

Status in dbus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  If you do a Wily desktop install, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a
  symlink to /etc/machine-id.

  If you do a Wily server install, /var/lib/dbus/machine-id is a file
  containing the same value as /etc/machine-id.

  Minor issue, but still a weird inconsistency between Ubuntu desktop
  and server.

  Thanks!
