For the record: After recompiling gnome-user-share with both
dependencies installation of blueman uninstalled obexd-server and
everything except DUN worked out of the box (with gnome-bluetooth OBEX
file browsing didn't, unfortunately I didn't debug, because I knew
wanted to have everything working with the far superior blueman
package). (For DUN support in blueman with NM 0.7.x there is bug #553927.)

Probably - filled blueman wishlist #564210. But the correct solution
should probably also changing package dependencies so that the
installation gnome-bluetooth can be uninstalled/replaced (both offer
kind-of same functionality and both integrate well with gnome).
