this is nice, but there is no need to run bluetooth.sh on non-serial
based Bluetooth cards like the Nokia DTL1 for example. They work
perfectly fine without any additional udev rule.
I also don't like that bluetooth.sh tries to run /etc/init.d/bluetooth,
because this should not be a task of an udev script. Either Bluetooth is
enabled to be started a system boot or not.
The other thing is that this is not Debian specific. So why does nobody
tried to start an upstream discussion on bluez-devel or linux-hotplug
mailing list.

Marcel
