I see. Thanks for the explanation.

`dbus-debug' is declared & defined un dbusbind.c, where it belongs
to. Your proposal would work, but it would be another dirty declaration
just in order to make the byte compiler silent.

The real solution would be to exclude notification.el (and other
packages) from byte compilation, if Emacs hasn't been compiled with
D-Bus support. Unfortunately, I don't know how to say this.

;; Local Variables:
;; no-byte-compile: (null (featurep 'dbusbind))
;; End: 

does not work, because the value for `no-byte-compile' is not evaluated.

;; Local Variables:
;; eval: (setq no-byte-compile (null (featurep 'dbusbind)))
;; End: 

doesn't work either.
