Bug Description

[Impact]

Attempting to use any of the bluetooth classes to interact with attached bluetooth devices will result in no devices being detected and, therefore, nothing being done.

[Test Case]

1. Have a bluetooth device attached and recognized and usable by BlueZ.
2. Write a short program that just constructs an instance of the QBluetoothLocalDevice class (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qbluetoothlocaldevice.html), which gives info about the local device.
3. See that the address returned is of an invalid device, and that there are no connected devices.

[Regression]

Minimal. This package handles only the bluetooth and NFC protocols, and the current state is that nothing is detected. With the build change, local devices will actually be accessible.

[Original Message]

The QtConnectivity package was built without the BlueZ headers. Therefore, bluetooth functionality was effectively not included in the binary packages.

Marking "Fix Released" in Vivid based on the Debian bug stating this was fixed in 5.3.1-2, and Vivid has 5.3.2-2build1.

The debian bug was referenced to in #ubuntu-bugs, and linked here by myself. Nomination request for Utopic and Trusty was handled at the same time. Timestamped logs below (timestamps are UTC-5) for this:
[2015/01/21 13:25:00] <saiarcot895> Can someone nominate bug #1412246 for Utopic and Trusty?

[2015/01/21 13:27:29] <saiarcot895> Based on build logs, Vivid appears to be unaffected (or rather, fixed).
[2015/01/21 13:28:10] <teward> saiarcot895: if that's the case then we can 'Fix Released' Vivid - but you should check and confirm this, if possible

Saikrishna: No need to do anything for the MP:s in particular anymore, just the verification request above needs to be fulfilled.

There will be auto merge to ubuntu/trusty branch of qtconnectivity once the package is in -updates.

Thanks for the work to enable BT via Qt!

I've successfully tested 5.2.1-1ubuntu0.1 on my 14.04 LTS with a BT dongle. The examples from qtconnectivity5-examples start working with the new version, while they did not before the upgrade.
