[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bluetooth Status in Lenny

I've tried installing the current bluez-utils, bluez-compat and bluetooth 
packages from lenny including backports, but I don't seem to have all of the 
configuration files that are mentioned in online documentation.  I suspect 
that the currently available files may not be complete, and that while an 
original lenny installation that was upgraded to the current files might 
work, a fresh install doesn't.

kbluetooth is greyed out, as are all options except "Quit" 
(including "Configure").  I can place the bluetooth USB dongle in 
discoverable mode with hciconfig piscan.  My bluetooth phone can then see it, 
but when I try to pair it asks for a pin.  "1234", cited in some docs as the 
default pin, does not work, placing a number in /etc/bluetooth/pin does not 
work.

(I also notice that no bluetooth app has been included in squeeze's kde.)

If there is documentation on the current program set I haven't found it but 
would appreciate a clue.
