Title: Deprecated rfcomm.conf still mentioned in bluetooth.conf and README Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in bluez source package in Xenial: Won't Fix Status in bluez source package in Yakkety: Won't Fix Status in bluez source package in Artful: Fix Released Status in bluez package in Debian: New Bug description: [Impact] * The package contains misleading documentation mentioning the use of /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf for rfcomm setup while the support for config file has been dropped after 14.04 release. I have directly received a question about it from a user mislead by the documentation. * Additionally deprecated -f option is still used in legacy upstart /etc/init/bluetooth.conf. Actually this does not seem longer required due to upstart being removed. [Test Case] * Install bluez. * Look for misleading rfcomm.conf mentions in /etc/init/bluetooth.conf, /usr/share/doc/bluez/README.Debian.gz [Regression Potential] * This is mostly a documentation correction, however if somebody still depends bluetooth started with Ubuntu 16.04+ by upstart (or possibly some kind of upstart compatibility in systemd, is that even possible?) he/she may end up with bluetooth not being started. This seems highly unlikely. [Other Info] * Original bug description: Support for config files has been dropped upstream in 2012 (however version shipped with Trusty still supports it), but the latest versions (including Xenial and Zesty) still mention it in the docs and in the legacy /etc/init/bluetooth.conf file. Additionally the /etc/init/bluetooth.conf don't seem necessary these days. In fact it has been dropped by Debian already.
