For the Fedora package I've put pand, dund and hidd in separate init
scripts. It's expected that individual services can be enabled or
disabled with chkconfig or system-config-services, rather than by
manually editing a separate config file.

Also, I've often been glad of being able to restart pand _separately_
from hcid and sdpd. Doesn't sdpd forget _everything_ that's registered
when you restart it?

But hid2hci does make sense, assuming of course that you're not relying
on a Bluetooth HID device without having the Linux BT-HID support
working yet.
