Expected behavior. Your mechanically-generated answer to the configuration
question is setting each symbol to n explicitly.

Because `make oldconfig' reads in BLUEZ and freezes it to n.
Symbols with ancestors frozen to n aren't written to the config file.
This is how CML2 avoids writing symbols associated with (say) SPARC when
you're configuring for X86 -- SPARC gets frozen to n.
The real design question here is whether make oldconfig should freeze symbols
read in or merely set them without freezing them.

I don't know yet. I'm working on that now.
