That's right. Ring is mainly intended to be used by real users logged
on a desktop or a mobile platform. However, we'd like to port it to 
embedded platforms to cover a larger usage (m2m, video capture, door 
bell...). And this is why a fake 'ring' user has to be created and the
D-Bus session address has to be exported.

Is it possible to patch a package (dbus) "from" another one (ring-daemon)?
