Hi guys,
Once pulseaudio and bluedevil moves out of [testing], the only official package depending on bluez4 will be blueman.
As blueman was last released two years ago, and last upstream activity was more than one year ago and that bluez4 is no longer developed upstream at all, I suggest dropping both of them from the repositories.
Any objections?
Cheers,
Tom

Best would be to get bluez connecting to devices from console or/and to have a desktop independent frontend like this approach:

By this are you including the problem of bluez 5 not providing a way to automatically connect to bluetooth input devices without Gnome or KDE. That was something I ran into on my media center when I tried to switch. The keyboard might not be available on boot. There is a forum post about the issue here, with a couple workarounds but none of them are ideal for the end user to be doing: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166362 - Stephen E. Baker
