No, it prints all string and uint32 properties that bluetoothd sends us,
regardless of whether we are interested in them or not (Icon is one
example of an uninteresting property).

I explained my point badly. The way I would like property changes to be
logged is in a helper function, for example set_alias(), which would
print "Device %s alias changed from '%s' to '%s'." (The helper would
also check whether the alias actually changed, and fire a hook, so the
function wouldn't exist just for printing a fancy log message.) If we
had that, then printing the alias also where you currently print it
would be redundant. When a new device appears, we could parse all
properties silently, and if all properties are parsed successfully, we
could then log a message like this: "Device %s created. alias=%s
address=%s class=%u"

I admit that the logs actually look much better than what I thought when
I first complained about this code. If you don't like to do the changes
that I suggest, I'm OK with leaving the code as it is (the inconsistency
regarding uninteresting properties bothers me, though - only properties
that happen to have type string or uint32 will be logged).

What's the problem with having untested code in this case? There is a
risk that the code doesn't work if BlueZ some day starts to support
removing UUIDs? If we don't implement support for it, then we know for
sure that the code won't work.
