This is a conflicting goal with the on-demand stuff I feel.  You can't
have the on-demand stuff and this working if the BT radio is only
exposed after the device switches modes.

I agree here, but I don't see the docs showing up anytime soon.

Why?  What's it's benefit living in the bluez tree?  By moving to
udev-extras, it now lives in /lib/udev and will work even if the /usr
gets mounted on NFS late.
