I suggest you to file a bug against bluez package, reasons being:
1) Back in squeeze bluez depended on bluez-audio package (it was a weak
dependency, "Suggests"). Said "bluez-audio" package played the same
role as today's pulseaudio-module-bluetooth, i.e. - provided sound over
Bluetooth connection.
2) pulseaudio-module-bluetooth is the only Debian package which provides
aforementioned functionality.
3) Judging by "apt-cache rdepends" result, about the only package that
can bring pulseaudio-module-bluetooth into one's system is bluedevil,
KDE frontend to pulseaudio. And current "favorite" Debian Desktop
Environment is GNOME.
Suggested resolution of such bug report should be (IMO of course)
addition of pulseaudio-module-bluetooth to Suggests field of bluez, as
playing sound over Bluetooth is not the only use case of Bluetooth.
