[Bug 281580] Re: [Intrepid] New Bluetooth Wizard fails to pair with devices: reintroduce hidd

[Wowbagger]

Really, the RIGHT answer is:
1) get Bluez to actually DOCUMENT how the new Bluetooth stack is supposed to work:
1a) document the new configuration files in a meaningful fashion
1b) document how to accomplish basic functions, such as
1b1) using Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
1b2) using Bluetooth networking (PAN)
1b3) using Bluetooth modem (DUN)
1b4) using Bluetooth audio devices
2) Make proper GUIs and command line programs to configure the above use cases
3) REMOVE HIDD, and make any attempt to install it instead point the person to the new packages
4) Make a concerted effort to get people to update the web pages referring to the old methods.

And if Bluez will not or can not do this, then Canonical needs to step
up and do it. This is a piece of system infrastructure, not just some
random app. It not working really gives GNU/Linux a black eye.
