Unfortunately, I already removed the packages when Tony gave the go-ahead. 
Does this change need to be reverted?  If so, I think it would be best if
the phone team explicitly took ownership of the obexd-* packages by
preparing a new upload (which could then be sponsored in).

Otherwise, as far as bluez5 is concerned, looking at the archive I believe
this migration is already done.  So perhaps there's no need to revert?
