I instead am adding the gnome-bluetooth transitional package to the
old gnome-bluetooth source package.

This avoided hijacking a package name. I only realized afterwards that
hijacking packages actually doesn't go through the NEW queue but I
think it is reasonable to do it this way anyway. (Of course, both
source packages have the same maintainer so it's not an adversarial
hijack.)

Thank you,
