Bug#649079: gnome-bluetooth: edit /etc/machine-info

Package: gnome-bluetooth
Version: 3.4.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #649079

Although there's no GUI to get that changed, you can set a variable named
PRETTY_HOSTNAME in /etc/machine-info (this file most likely won't exist) to set
the bluetooth device's name.

This file is part of a freedesktop tool named hostnamectl, I discovered it
while playing with Fedora 18. Didn't get a clue from Debian. Guess it hasn't
landed here yet.
