Bug Description

A recent upgrade (seemingly 5.53-0ubuntu3.5) broke Bluetooth functionality for certain setups.

Specifically, the `ConditionPathIsDirectory=` parameter has been added to the `bluetooth` Systemd unit. This breaks setups where users use a Bluetooth dongle, since when the system starts, the BT device may not be connected, and due to the condition, the `bluetooth` unit won't start at all.

BTW, "ConditionPathIsDirectory" is not new. It's been there for two years already in Ubuntu 20.04.

If you have experienced a regression then more often that would come from a kernel update so please try some different kernel versions.

I think the bug can be closed:

On the same date of the bluez package upgrade, I had to revert to an older kernel version due to the amdgpu driver incompatibility, so that should be the cause.

The version was the Ubuntu mainline 5.11.16 (the latest compatible with 20.04 and with the amdgpu official drivers as of today), which I don't know if it's of any interest (if so, I can upload the information).
