My 2 cents on installing d-bus files on kubuntu - I'm running project neon
(packaged nightly builds of kde master) and it installs itself to /opt. It
provides all sorts of build tools as well, like neon-cmake, that sets the
most needed params to correct values (like install prefix etc) while
building stuff. However it always breaks while installing d-bus
.service/.interface files. The apps with d-bus files in /opt never works in
kubuntu. I always have to link them to /usr for them to work.

So if DBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR points to /usr, everything should be fine
at all times and any cases. On kubuntu at least, not sure about other
systems (although I'd be interested to know that).
