Thanks for this!

It looks like a very simple setup and I can't see anything that might
resemble the A-B service combinations I was imagining.

> I have attached also the D-Bus system message output, from both 255.17-4 without initscript daemon/startup argument changes (255.17-4-unedited.dbus.log), and also with (255.17-4-edited.dbus.log).

I am afraid I know nothing about dbus so I hope someone else will be
able to learn something from these to help.
