>From the audit perspective, its fine as service. Too many names that mean the 
same thing causes string lookup tables to get big. Service is what dbus is 
currently using. So, it makes sense to re-use the field name. If the selinux 
tooling wants to know an AVC originated from kdbus activity, then maybe 
another name=value should be added.
