until we deprecate libbluetooth and no longer give an option to install it, you can not do this. It is part of libbluetooth and this would break API.

Couldn't we perhaps bump the major version so we could move on with
these changes, or would you like to deprecate the libbluetooth before
we move to e.g. BlueZ 6.0? Since we have done these changes on the
kernel size I wonder also if it shouldn't reflect into userspace
though, we could perhaps keep the old definition alongside with the
new though so we don't break userspace tools/apps which may still be
using the old definitions.

Regards

Marcel
