What gives?

There are a few dbus packages on hackage. The one in [haskell-core] is DBus (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/DBus) which is rather old, and quite possibly a candidate for removal (I'll have to check later today). The dbus package in [haskell-web] seems to be dbus (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/dbus), which is newer and looks to be better maintained (AFAICS it's also a dependency of github-annex).

Not a particularly good answer, but maybe Fabio can fill in a little more details

Reading from hackage, I can tell you that DBUS is binding to the API, dbus is implemented in Haskell. The first fails with ghc-7.0, so I don't know why anybody would use it. As Magnus already told you, the reason for dbus presence in [haskell-web] is because it is a dependency of git-annex. Fabio
