BlueZ 5.x installs bluetoothd by default into /usr/libexec/bluetooth/
whereas 4.x installs it to /usr/sbin/, so it wouldn't get overwritten.

D-Bus policy files are provided by each service that needs them. You
won't get the new BlueZ policy with some centralized D-Bus package. I
tried to tell you that you'll find the policy file in the BlueZ source
tree and you just need to copy it to the right place (also explained in
my email).
