You'd probably want to ask upstream.  Alternatively, uploading blueman
to experimental wouldn't be the worst thing; once bluez 4.x enters
unstable, you could simply do another upload at that point.  It will
have to spend some time in the NEW queue anyways.  It's better to
upload it ASAP (even if that means it will need to be in experimental)
and then upload a newer version later.

Thanks!
