Can we just disable security/pairing? If both your Android device and your Debian system have Bluetooth 2.1 or newer controllers pairing is mandated by the Bluetooth specification for everything else except service discovery. If your Debian system has a 2.0 or older Bluetooth controller all that's needed is to set the security level for the server socket you're trying to connect to to low. FWIW, it's possible to forcibly downgrade even a 2.1 system to a 2.0 one as far as pairing is concerned by issuing the command "hciconfig hci0 sspmode 0".
