bluez: /etc/init.d/bluetooth

I feel this is wrong. The machine is a server in a compute
center and certainly does not need bluetooth. You may argue
that it does not need gnome either. It was installed only
for the typical functionality that a Window system offers.

"recommended" would do it from my perspective.
