D-Bus does not look for them.
Those are development files, similar to headers just a bit more abstract.

Probably depends on the build system but whatever mechanism is being used is 
almost certainly checking that variable.
Could check some additional paths though.

No idea, but my guess is that for KDE's build system (cmake) there will most 
likely be a cmake macro in kdelibs' cmake modules.

Since that tutorial covers runtime D-Bus configuration this is probably out of 
scope for it.
