[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#598982: bluez: Please provide again bluetooth-agent utility

[Kevin Baradon]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.70-1
Severity: normal

Last bluez package version stopped providing bluetooth-agent, and replaced it with bluez-simple-agent.

I use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse on my box, and have no GUI. 
bluez-simple-agent requires user to manually authorize (typing yes and <ENTER>) every device connection even if device has already been paired.
So, connection attempts of my keyboard/mouse are rejected and I'm unable to use them.

bluetooth-agent used to allow device connection automatically if they were already paired, so please package again blueztooth-agent in bluez package, or point me another way to solve my problem.

Let me know if you need testing/other informations.
