Hi,
I've added some extra informations based on your bug report to README.Debian,
here is the patch:

--- debian/README.Debian        (revision 153)
+++ debian/README.Debian        (working copy)

 from http://www.bluez.org/patches.html.

 Then change HIDD_ENABLED in /etc/default/bluez-utils to 1 and restart
-bluez-utils.  That enables the hidd server.  You must then connect to
-your keyboard or mouse using hidd --connect <bdaddr>.  On first
-connection, pairing is likely.  Mice normally have a preset PIN which
-should be in the manufacturer's documentation, try 0000.  For keyboards,
-type the PIN on the Bluetooth keyboard and hit enter, and then type it
-in on a cable-attached keyboard to pair.  In future your keyboard or
-mouse should reconnect to your computer automatically.  You must invoke
-hidd as root.
