dnsmasq doesn't require dbus though: that's an optional dependency that has to be enabled at compile time.

To make it work with Network Manager, it needs DBus support. So distributions compile it with DBus support.

Sure, but the key there is NetworkManager. dnsmasq itself doesn't require DBus.

How does systemd-resolved work with NM? If the goal in general is to have a non-dbus version when NM isn't used, then provide both versions as packages.
