Marcel, can you confirm the actual solution is the one you indicated in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384379#msg10 ?

Jaime, could you please retry as well? bluez 3.7 is both in testing and
unstable.

If hcid.conf values are there only for a cold run I think it needs to be
documented, I didn't found anything in hcid.conf(5) though, is it documented
somewhere?
