I think it's understood that with bluetooth on, the power consumption
will be higher, so I don't see an issue from this POV.

What I want to beg you about though, is to make this service quit when
bluetooth is not active. Our device is already haunted by services
running all the time for no good reason.

Now I have bluetooth disabled and there are *two* services taking up RAM
for the sake of it:
/usr/sbin/bluetoothd
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/indicator-bluetooth/indicator-bluetooth-service

BTW, anyone wants to become a hero and solve this? :-)

Ciao,
