This bug was fixed in the package bluez - 4.12-0ubuntu3
---------------
bluez (4.12-0ubuntu3) intrepid; urgency=low
* debian/bluez.postinst:
- Don't show output for MAKEDEV. (LP: 280360)
* Add dell_bt_365.patch which will enable putting the Dell BT365
adapter into HCI mode upon bootup. (LP: #286724)
* debian/control:
- Add one more binary package for old compatibility binaries. (LP: #281580)
* debian/rules:
- Enable compatibility binaries. These are HIGHLY discouraged from usage
and will not necessarily be here in the future.
* debian/bluez.install:
- Adjust what binaries get installed, to be able to pull out hidd, dund,
and pand as necessary.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: bluez
With the latest updates to Intrepid testing, the new bluetooth device setup
wizard (which is an excellent improvement over the previous setup methods)
fails to pair with my Apple Keyboard (pre-aluminum, broadcom based). No debug
information or error messages are given other than "failed to pair".
Further making this an issue is the fact that the recent bluetooth updates also
removed the hidd binary from Ubuntu (again).
This method seems to be the only thing that works for Apple Bluetooth Keyboards
recently:

Notice that it requires hci to be reset, but cannot use hid2hci to do this. The
keyboard was working fine previous to the update using the method in the above
link.
Removing reliable and useful software from the repos that can be useful for
workarounds when new software is introduced is not a good idea. The hidd binary
has been removed several times from Ubuntu and each time it has been requested
that it is put back. Please make this binary available in the repos via other
means so that it can be used as a fallback in the future.
