After installing Utopic Unicorn, and having several unknown
disconnection issues with both a Logiteck K810 and a Logitech T630, i
retried the migration to Bluez 5. There are some PPAs out there almost
ready for this version of Ubuntu, but more important IMHO is that there
are packages already present upstream (Debian Jessie - 5.23-1). And
those installed without trouble in the Utopic flavour.

After that, I'm experiencing a much better handling of the devices, not
perfect, but trully improved. From upstream I also installed the
'bluedevil' packages which integrates pretty well into the current
desktop. The troubleshooting and interacting experience will be much
better thanks to the 'btmon' and the 'bluetoothctl' utilities. IDK why
hcidump was deleted from the repositories.

AFAICT, there is no ALSA supported versions yet, but this could be an
starting point to the 'most-wanted' and really needed migration process.

PS: Also I strongly disagree with the Wishlist categorization of this
issue...
