Dear maintainer,

thanks for your hard work with this package, it is really appreciated.

Today, I hit a problem trying to pair a bluetooth headset.

I got errors like `a2dp-sink profile connect failed [...]: Protocol not available`.
Searching the wiki, I found there is a known solution to this, which is documented
here:

https://wiki.debian.org/BluetoothUser/a2dp#a2dp-sink_profile_connect_failed_.5B....5D:_Protocol_not_available

In a nutshell, we need the following two lines in the pulseaudio config file:

load-module module-bluez5-device
load-module module-bluez5-discover

For example, in the file `/etc/pulse/default.pa.d/bluez5.pa`.

Please, consider having the config be shipped as part of the debian package.
