Hello.
Almost every distribution gets it wrong and enables hid2hci by default
(besides Fedora where I already intervened twice).
This is a real problem, because it disables Bluetooth keyboards and/or
mice which aren't paired with bluez, thus many Live-CDs and default
installs aren't usable when only a Bluetooth keyboard is connect.
An easy solution to disable that behaviour would be to install an empty
rule in /etc/udev/rules.d named the same as the one in
/lib/udev/rules.d. It could just contain a comment like
(...)
Unfortunately that isn't a very practical idea, as the rule(-file) would
likely become installed again with every upgrade or reinstall. :(
I think otherwise that problem will never go away. It's really
unbelievable how many distributions got this wrong and thus how many
Live-CDs and default installations are unusable when only a Bluetooth
keyboard is used with a hid-aware Bluetooth dongle.
So another idea seems to be necessary to either educate distributions
(or their package maintainers) that they should build a distinct package
for hid2hci and don't install that package by default, or some mechanism
which enables the user to enable/disable hid2hci (as it was the case
before the udev-rule went to /lib),
