As a long-term solution, that'd probably be a good thing to suggest (I've
avoided cross-posting to BlueZ upstream, until we have a consistent
recommendation to give them!)

As a solution for the current release of BlueZ, assuming that rethinking
the Agent API completely is not an option, does the proposed policy at
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=59;filename=bluetooth.conf;att=1;bug=510644>
need to be vetoed? It seems to me to be non-ideal, but the best we can get
right now; but I still don't fully understand the D-Bus policy language (I'm
not convinced anyone does...) so I could be wrong.

(It is intentional that the netdev group always have privileges equal to an
at_console user; that particular change is an odd Debianism caused by
ConsoleKit/pam_console/etc. not being a hard dependency.)

Thanks,
