Ubuntu is building this wrong for the 12.10 release then. I'm filing
a bug about this, what should the configure option be?

I rebuilt their bluez-4.101 package and it complains about...

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-proximity,
--enable-time, --enable-alert, --enable-gatt-example, --enable-tracer,
--enable-thermometer, --enable-capng

configure input from debian/rules...

If someone on Bluez provides better options, I will append to bug.

Comment on Bluez list says Ubuntu should be using the configure options provided in bootstrap-configure.
Without this change Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy profile support is not enabled.

./bootstrap && \
    ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode \
  --enable-debug \
  --prefix=/usr \

This constitutes a regression; since GATT was available in Precise. There's a simple fix, so I don't see why not just apply it. I'll drop the old switches at the same time as I add --enable-gatt.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package bluez - 4.101-0ubuntu6

---------------
bluez (4.101-0ubuntu6) quantal; urgency=low

  * debian/rules: add --enable-gatt (and remove the unrecognized configure
    options left over from previous releases). This fixes a regression in the
    support for Low Energy bluetooth devices such as thermometer probes and the
    like. (LP: #1055616)
