[Bug 1607024] [NEW] needs to wait for remote-filesystems to start

Public bug reported:

Currently the dbus upstart script has this:

start on local-filesystems

But this makes the dbus startup fail if /usr is an NFS filesystem.
After changing the above line to:

start on remote-filesystems

dbus started working correctly.

This actually highlights the problem with init events that assume
certain things about the system installation.  You really want a "start
on usr-available" here, not on events that naïvely assume what kind of
filesystem it's on.

** Affects: dbus (Ubuntu)
