[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#669874: bluez: Udevd rule ignores user settings and switches to HCI mode.

[S. Massy]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.99-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
The rule file /lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules is executed
on boot despite having HID2HCI_ENABLED set to 0 in
/etc/default/bluetooth. This causes problems for those using bluetooth
keyboards and mice in HID mode at boot time and may affect other users
relying on bluetooth devices in HID mode to provide accessibility. The
problem is especially confusing when upgrading from Squeeze (which was
my case) because the bluetooth devices in HID mode suddenly stop working
upon upgrading, even before reboot (as soon as udev reloads).
