[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#746078: RT News - New member, freeze reminder and last Squeeze release

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

Hi, Andreas.

I can upload bluez5 to unstable, immediately.
However, blueman does not work properly yet as you wrote it (which is
partially supported).
And I think that bluez4 also maintain at the same time to support the
blueman is not good thing too.
In the worst case, blueman may be deleted from the next release.

Christopher, do you have any comment about this as blueman maintainer?

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
