On Debian Wheezy:

zia:debian# apt-file search notify-send
libnotify-bin: /usr/bin/notify-send

Debian doesn't have 'sw-notify-send'

However, 'kdialog' has built-in dbus notify via:

kdialog --passivepopup "Danger, Will Robinson" 0   # "text of message" \
Timeout-in-seconds

It's much more limited in that respect. (icon is hardcoded at
"info", timeouts seem limited to 30 seconds max, and can't be made
persistent)

notify-send -u critical -t 0 -a APPNAME -i face-raspberry -c CATEGORY -h \
string:HINT:clue SUMMARY BODY

results in (via running 'dbus-monitor'):
