Hello! Please consider adding `libspa-0.2-bluetooth` to this package as a
recommendation.

After many hours of trouble-shooting: I found installing libspa to be the
solution to getting Blue Tooth devices working on my recently-installed Debian
system. Others on-line have reported the same (for example:
https://superuser.com/a/1686937 ).

While I understand that ideally you wouldn't want to depend on this package for
all users, including those who may not need Blue Tooth connectivity: I believe
this is a common-enough scenario to warrant bundling-in the library for users'
convenience: especially those who may not have the technical knowledge or time
to find a solution on their own and might just end-up not being able to connect
their devices at all other-wise.

Thank you for considering this suggestion and for your work in helping make
Debian the best, most-free universal operating-system!
