Bluetooth support on Touch in wily is currently broken with bluez 5.33 
being included. All touch components still expect the old 4.x DBus API. 
The conversion will happen soon once we get bluez 5.x running on Touch.

I am not sure that there are explicit test case for OBEX but I at least 
remember some which included address book syncing with car kits.

However running them on Touch will be not possible  in wily so I am fine 
with just dropping obexd-{client,server} from the Touch seeds in wily 
and use bluez-obexd instead.
