[Bug 1811152] [NEW] Locally installed services can't add dbus configuration

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

A report was received in upstream fwupd about how the daemon wasn't able
to start after the following commands:

# meson build
# ninja -C build
# ninja -C build install

This placed everything in /usr/local by default.
It also created an /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.conf

The daemon can (attempt to) be started by:
/usr/local/libexec/fwupd/fwupd -v

It fails to acquire org.freedesktop.fwupd on dbus system bus however.

This is because by default dbus on Ubuntu does not examine files in
/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d.

This issue can be fixed if the following is added to
/usr/share/dbus-1/system.conf:


    <includedir>/usr/local/etc/dbus-1/system.d</includedir>
