It's a minor security benefit, but not automatically beneficial (it enables ASLR, but breaks prelinking, some buggy toolchains, and some gdb versions). Distributions who know their infrastructure works well can enable it just as easily via ./configure CFLAGS="-fPIE" LDFLAGS="-pie" without extra support from us, and that's a generic solution applicable to many packages. Similarly, don't force libdbus and libdbus-internal to be PIC: libtool knows better than we do whether that's necessary/beneficial on a particular platform.
