Description:
DBus included headers(with dbus-core) are placed in /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/ instead of /usr/include/dbus/
This shouldn't be like this because all internal "#include"s in DBus header files are look like /dbus/..., not /dbus-1.0/dbus/...
Another reason is that apps that rely on this headers placed in /usr/include/dbus/ wont compile. Examples: dbused from AUR.
This, certainly, can be easily fixed by compiling options, but why it is done this way and not another(how it should be:))?
This task depends upon

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbus-1.pc
