kbluetooth is transitional for the kbluetooth that was in unstable
(but never made it into testing). One of the ex-maintainers of
kbluetooth suggested that I should also add a transitional package for
it. Their version is just something higher than the last version of
kbluetooth/kdebluetooth that was in unstable. I did that to avoid
bumping epoch on bluedevil. Having to modify debian/rules for each
upload isn't so great, but it's not much hassle either, because I
don't intend to do any further uploads before squeeze is released and
after the release I will again drop the transitional packages (well,
supposing that the release will take some time...).

There are no translations for bluedevil. Upstream added the
possibility to translate it in 1.0~rc4 (released last week) and it
will take some time until translations are ready, so I don't think
they can make it for squeeze.
