How about SuSE and Debian?

If dbus-python is indeed the best library, that may be the way to go.
System-level dependencies can be installed via devstack, so you could
submit a patch to devstack to install this library for cinder's use by
editing files/*/cinder.

You'll also need to modify cinder's tox.ini to set "sitepackages =
True" so the virtualenvs created for the unit tests can see the global
site-packages directory. Nova does the same thing for some of its
dependencies.
