[Bug 269310] devel/dbus: /var/lib/dbus/machine-id not created

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269310

--- Comment #5 from Charlie Li <vishwin@freebsd.org> ---
We can add a pkg-message as a courtesy, to remind everyone to enable the dbus
service/daemon if not already. But there exist use cases where enabling the
dbus service/daemon is not desirable, for instance when a consumer only needs
to link to the library, but said consumer is used on a non-desktop/workstation
scenario. POLA goes both ways.

I don't know which Linux distribution you came from, but far from all of them
will hold your hand on matters like this. I myself had a rude awakening to how
things worked here when I first started using FreeBSD, and I was already used
to something that required more user "intervention" to configure.
