@Pitti - It's not really suitable to add a dependency to the bluetooth module, as the uinput device is required by userspace components of bluez, not the bluetooth kernel module. We'd prefer not to build it in, as it's only required on some systems, and not required for boot.

Adding it to the bluetooth init script would seem (to me) to be the most appropriate solution, and is done in other init scripts (as well as loading everything from /etc/modules). Or are we trying to move away from this?

What are your concerns with the overhead? Is this primarily about affecting machines with no bluetooth support?
