So why did the commit message talk about
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/GConf.service conflicting between
installation, and how will your patch fix that error?  As far as I can
tell ${datadir} isn't in the MULTILIBRE_ALLOW_REP so they'll still
conflict, right?

I still think that splitting up the gconf package into library and
tooling is the logical solution.
