Status in “bluez-utils” source package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: bluez-utils

Upgrade to most recent hardy bluez-utils package and attempt to locate hidd and or use. If there is a new way to search and connect BT keyboard and mice please let me know and ill update the ubuntu guide, etc. but this seems more like a packaging error than an purposeful omission.

Note: if using Ubuntu (Gnome) and the Bluetooth applet with Ubuntu 7.10 or 8.04, there is a graphical interface to pair mice and keyboards. See:
