[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#596795: bluez: package upgrade disables bluetooth way to long

[Jelle de Jong]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.70-1
Severity: important


Package upgrade of bluetooth disables the bluez daemon, causing keyboard, mouse and audio (all bluetooth)
to stop working for as long as the complete upgrade process takes, this can easily take up to 20 minutes.

Since the bluetooth devices are the only input devices on a lot of my desktop systems, the devices get useless.

When doing an unattended update on the client systems this is a major issues, users believe there system broke
and try to turn the system on and off.

Bluetooth should not be disabled for longer then a few seconds during a package upgrade.
