it does indeed, but then I wonder why this functionality is present in
an openembedded based image for the FreeRunner that runs (supposedly)
bluez-utils 3.23-r2, which is older than what’s in Debian, and I can not
find any patches regarding this...

And indeed, looking at:
http://shr.bearstech.com/sources/bluez-utils-3.23.tar.gz
The above code lines are filled with some functionality!

So looking in the changelog, I see:
ver 3.32:
	[..]
        Remove HAL support helpers.
        Remove inotify support.
        Remove service daemon activation handling.
        Remove uneeded D-Bus API extension.

Interesting. Do you have any idea why this was removed? Is there some
replacement functionality?

Greetings,
Joachim
