+- Make restart behavior an admin decision:
+  - drop feature-suse-refuse-manual-start-stop.patch
+  - introduce 2 new subpackages:
+    dbus-broker-allow-restart
+    dbus-broker-block-restart (default to reflect the old patch
+    behavior)
+    
+    one of the 2 packages is required and leaves the admin the
+    choice if they want to be able to restart dbus-broker without
+    reboot or not.
