The Desktop Entry Specification doesn't give any special meaning to
backslashes in section names: a line "[\n]" starts a section whose
name is the two characters (backslash, n), not a section whose name
is a newline. GKeyFile in GLib matches this interpretation.
In practice, the only section used by dbus-daemon is "D-BUS Service",
only way this could make a difference is if someone had written it
as "D-BUS\sService". According to
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%5C%5BD-BUS%5C%5CsService%5C%5D
there is no instance of that pattern in Debian.
