Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

I am attempting to pair to a device with for serial port access.  The
device documentation says that the device PIN is 8 digits, but bluez add
a device wizard will only accept a 4 digit custom PIN codes.  According
to Wikipedia device pin codes can be up to 16 digits
