I refuse to patch perfectly good upstream packages just to work around
bugs in the opensuse build checks. I'd rather drop the package from
FACTORY.
The Bluez project is particularly good at adapting its code to the needs
of distributions in order to enable them to ship unpatched versions.
Marcel has repeatedly stated that he does not want to support
distro-patched versions (and he has a point there, since the project does
try hard to invalidate the need for distro-patching). I as a packager do
not want to be in the situation having to ask for help for a clearly
unsupported setup. That's why I simply refuse to do that.
