I think I would sponsor it, if you fix the following things:

* Is there a need for a native package? I do not think so.
* debian/prerm seems to be useless at the moment, it should be removed

* debian/control:
 - wraped lines are fine but I think you may fit them to a 80x terminal
size, at the moment it is a bit bloated in my eyes
 - Standards-Version is out of date
 - You are using debhelper, but you are not adding ${misc:Depends}
 - (not tested) Are the replaces, conflicts with bluez-gnome *realy* needed?
 - Some useless whitespaces at EOL.

* debian/copyright:
 - You may add your own copyright for your packaging.
 - There are much more different copyright holders for different files
which are not listed there, try it e.g. with grep -r Copyright *|sort|less
 - There are also some more missing licenses (GPL3, GPL-2+, GPL-2) in
the package which are not mentioned in the debian/copyright file

* Package building:
The build FTBFS. You are build depending on libbluetooth-dev (>= 4.0)
but in unstable there is just version 3.36-1.


At all (also if the packages would build) it would be rejected by the
ftp-masters, because of the incomplete debian/copyright and useless
native package.
