[Bug 1624285] [NEW] /etc/init.d/dbus checks for dbus-daemon in wrong location

Public bug reported:

dbus 1.6.18-0ubuntu4.3 for Ubuntu 14.04 installs a /etc/init.d/dbus
script that checks for /usr/bin/dbus-daemon instead of /bin/dbus-daemon
.

Evidently this is not a critical failure as something still starts a
system dbus on my system:

5   102  2423     1   1   0  41004  3304 -      Ss   ?          3:07
dbus-daemon --system --fork

Who, I haven't figured out yet. The usual suspect systemd seems to be
innocent here, because AFAICT it's supposed to start the daemon with a
different set of options:

ExecStart=//bin/dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork
--nopidfile --systemd-activation


This makes it a little bit tricky to figure out how to relaunch the system dbus daemon...
