Dear Sirs,
Afer several uninstalls and installs (which I described in my previous
message), I finally managed to both correct deathlock and to have
brought the bluetooth system up and running again. :)

Here is what I did:

I hacked into "/var/lib/dpkg/status" and removed the offending package
(which happens to be Bluez-Utils), which contains offending script
(namely /etc/init.d/bluetooth 72d771738fa8480c1ad8caade6889f93 in my
case).

Then I installed backports again, uninstall them and I installed the
original Bluez-utils (3.36-3)), restarted and voila now the system both
recognize and initialize bluetooth dongles and transfers and receives
files with bluetooth devices.

Although this is somewhat much more a self-help rather than support for
a bug and a monologue rather than a dialogue, I thank you for the
maintainers for these marvelously coded packages.

Regards,

Akin

IMPORTANT NOTE: I would be very grateful if bug system server obfuscate
email address, I have already started receiving spam.
