http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/blueproximity
Similar packages:

    * gramofile
    * away
    * ddrescue
    * amora-server
    * libclass-spiffy-perl
    * gtimer
    * bluemon
    * devfsd
    * worklog
    * chiark-really
    * hamster-applet

Maybe:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/bluemon might be an alternative but
looks less maintained.
