Could the bluez-audio package drop the useless README file (actually and 
INSTALL file looking at its contents) and provide a README.Debian with a copy 
of that page?

bluetooth-alsa also handles AVRCP. Is there any application that can handle 
the provides dbus messages or, to not have to adapt every single app out 
there, injects standard keycodes into the input layer of the kernel?
