--- Comment #1 from Tijl Coosemans <tijl at FreeBSD.org> ---
We use /var/lib/dbus/machine-id.  Applications normally check both that and
/etc/machine-id.  The file is created at boot if you have dbus_enable="YES" in
/etc/rc.conf.  Ideally it would be created when you install the dbus package. 
The problem is that it should stay the same across package updates and because
update is currently implemented as delete+install that means the file cannot be
removed during package delete.  Our package testing framework then complains
that the file isn't removed properly.
