Yes it would - by far.
But considering how close T4 is, I doubt that I'll have sufficient time
to either port the kdebluetooth/KDE DBUS support to 3.5.x (is it even
possible?) or add DBUS support for kdepin from scratch. (I'm the
packager - not the original upstream developer so I'll need to know my
way around the code first)

AFAICS, the patch itself [1] looks reasonable enough. 
However, I want to test it with both kdebluetooth and bluez-gnome don't
kick the bucket on this one.
