[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#853207: bluez: bluetooth.service doesn't start with systemd

[Russell Coker]

Package: bluez
Version: 5.43-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

# systemctl restart bluetooth.service
# systemctl status bluetooth.service
● bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset
   Active: inactive (dead)
     Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)

When running systemd on Unstable the bluetooth daemon doesn't start and NOTHING
is logged about it.

It is possible that my laptop (the only PC I own with bluetooth hardware) is
somehow unsuitable for running bluetooth.  It could be that bluetooth is
exiting for a correct reason but the total lack of any logs (either in stdout/
stderr or in syslog) means that I can't determine if this is the case.

If I run /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd from the command-line as root it appears
to basically work (bluetoothctl will talk to it) so it seems to be something
related to the service file.
