whops! :-) that's timely!

that seems sensible, although bluez is not the only bluetooth stack available
for linux (okay, it is included in vanilla kernels). Note that only the source
package is named pybluez, binary packages are python{,2.3,2.4}-bluez.

but yes, I would consider adding a python-bluetooth metapackage which depends on
python-bluez, just to be consistent with the recent bluez/bluetooth renaming
stuff.

It is fine with me, if you have no need to maintain/test it! pkg-bluetooth is
supposed to take care of bluetooth package :)

I plan to get both packages (or only python-bluetooth?) removed from NEW and
then upload a new version of python-bluez with the above issues corrected.

albert: I'm going to close the ITP in the changelog and add python-bluetooth
depending on python-bluez, then upload 0.6.1-2

thanks,
filippo
