Bluez -- that is the package that aims to bring bluetooth support -- requires udev to support most of bluetooth hardware, and properly depends on it. You are complaining about that because it collides with your fancy device manager that doesn't have any API that could bring hardware support to bluez. So now, do you request that we should provide bluez *without* bluetooth support? Wouldn't the correct solution be to, say, make bluetooth support in your package optional if you don't need it? -- Best regards, Michał Górny
