I am not sure how to fix this, given that recommends are automatically installed.
A proposal:

bluez-utils:
    suggests: bluez-firmare, bluez-audio, bluez-gnome

bluetooth:
    depends: bluez-utils
    recommends: bluez-audio, bluez-gnome

with the rationale that installing bluetooth the user is expected to get more
than from bluez-utils.
This however would not solve OP's bug, thus I'm asking for some ideas.

thanks,
filippo
