In case it isn't obvious, the patch I mean is debian/patches/81-session
.conf-timeout.patch.

The default service_start_timeout on the session bus was raised to 120s
between dbus 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 (in 2007).

Title:
  patch to raise service_start_timeout in session.conf does nothing and
  is unnecessary

Status in dbus package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu has a long-standing patch claiming to raise the session service
  startup timeout from 25s to 60s (with a comment saying it is raised to
  40s).

  However, this patch is pointless, for two reasons:

  * A later directive in the same file which takes precedence, also sets the service_start_timeout.
  * That later directive sets the service_start_timeout to 120s, so even if the patch worked as intended, it would be *reducing* the timeout.

  Please consider dropping this.
