dbus-1 recommends dbus-x11, dbus-x11 depends libx11-6 (and other X libs).
So there you go, opkg install <anything-depending-on-dbus> blows up your
flash space by pulling in numerous X libs. No FUD - very real concern.
(But if it's not a concern for Angstrom, then fine -- please ignore
this issue; if I fix it, I'll make sure that it won't change for Angstrom.)
