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

[Christopher Schramm]

Hey,

just go for it and push BlueZ 5 to unstable, Nobuhiro. I don't want to be the one taking the blame. ;)

I'll prepare a development snapshot of blueman next week (currently on holiday). It has at least any BlueZ 5 support, but is currently buggy and unfinished. Getting it to testing should probably provoke some feedback that could speed up development a little bit.

Cheers
