[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#697752: bluez: bluez now depends on python which makes my rootfs too big

[Radek Polak]

Package: bluez
Severity: normal
File: bluez

Dear Maintainer,
i have been using bluez in my debian based distro. Now i have upgraded
from sqeeze to wheezy and noticed that the rootfs size has grown a lot.

The problem is that bluez in wheezy depends on python while it was only
recommended in squeeze.

My distro http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/ is for Freerunner mobile phone
with limited NAND size and this additional dependency makes it not fit
in NAND anymore.

Could we please try to find solution? Make python just recommended or
split the package so that i can install just the binaries without
python scripts - IIRC they are only some test programs and are not
normally needed if your phone is coded in C/C++.
