Bug#552185: [Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#552185: read/write access to the /dev/rfkill device is required

The lack of read/write access to this device makes the user unable to switch bluetooth on/off (depending on its initial state). Thus I'm asking if it would be possible to bump the bug severity and provide a way for users to enable rfkill as Fabian suggested. I had a talk with Alexander (gnome-bluetooth's maintainer for Ubuntu): asac its kind of a temporary solution asac thats why putting it in gnome-bluetooth is right asac in the end it should be wrapped in bluez api asac the rationale for adding it now is that otherwise nothing will work ;) So in the end it should be included into bluez API but for now I guess I'll have to use Ubuntu's workaround.

Like I said providing a fix (albeit temporary) seems a better option to me than no fix at all. Things will be better with the coming 2.6.31 kernel, but being unable to disable bluetooth is really bad for laptop users. If Fabian is fine with it too then you should go ahead with the Ubuntu's workaround.
