(It didn't include the minimal version because there are no versions of
libbluetooth2-dev in the archive that fail the version requirement.)

There's nothing in my patch that's copyrightable in my home territory, and
even if there was I would be happy for you to consider it so.
Of course, crediting patch submitters is less about law than it is about
community and the /appreciation/ of the contributions of others; many times
a bug fix results in a trivial, non-copyrightable patch but the bug itself
is very subtle and the effort that goes into the debugging is worthy of
recognition. This is obviously not the case here, I couldn't care less if
you credit me for this change. :)
