dbus: simple interprocess messaging system (daemon and utilities): D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.
.
D-Bus supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus
decreasing latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be
low-overhead; messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using
XML. D-Bus also supports a method call mapping for its messages, but
it is not required; this makes using the system quite simple.
.
It comes with several bindings, including GLib, Python, Qt and Java.
.
This package contains the D-Bus daemon and related utilities.
.
The client-side library can be found in the libdbus-1-3 package, as it is no
longer contained in this package.

dbus-1-dbg: simple interprocess messaging system (debug symbols): D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.
.
This package provides support for debugging programs that use the core
D-Bus shared library.
.
See the dbus package description for more information about D-Bus in general.

dbus-1-doc: simple interprocess messaging system (documentation): D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.
.
This package contains the API documentation for D-Bus, as well as
the protocol specification.
.
See the dbus description for more information about D-Bus in general.

dbus-x11: simple interprocess messaging system (X11 deps): D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.
.
This package contains the dbus-launch utility which is necessary for
packages using a D-Bus session bus.
.
See the dbus description for more information about D-Bus in general.

libdbus-1-3: simple interprocess messaging system (library): D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.

The daemon can be found in the dbus package.

libdbus-1-dev: simple interprocess messaging system (development headers): D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications.
Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in
terms of complexity.
