    - As hostname is quoted in /etc/machine-info we have to unquote it before

Title:
  Bluez reports quoted hostname

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  At least on touch devices BlueZ reports a quoted hostname like
  "Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition" which is then send over to other devices
  including the quotes.

  bluetoothd[6402]: plugins/adaptername.c:set_pretty_name() Setting name '"Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition"' for device 'hci0'
  bluetoothd[6402]: plugins/mgmtops.c:mgmt_set_name() index 0, name "Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition"

  BlueZ reads the hostname from /etc/machine-info on startup which has
  the following set

  PRETTY_HOSTNAME="Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition"

  Code in BlueZ needs to be changed to ignore the quotes from the value.
