Marcel, can you confirm the actual solution is the one you indicated in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384379#msg10 ?
Jaime, could you please retry as well? bluez 3.7 is both in testing and
unstable.
I've been using "discovto 0;" in hcid.conf without any problems for a while.
Currently I'm using bluez 3.7-1, there was an update a while ago when
I had to add the line again to hcid.conf to make it work, and since
then I tell debconf not to modify my hcid.conf in the updates so I
can't tell if this version doesn't have the bug.

If hcid.conf values are there only for a cold run I think it needs to be
documented, I didn't found anything in hcid.conf(5) though, is it documented
somewhere?
thanks,

AFAIK the only thing needed to get the behaviour I want is to add
"discovto 0;" to hcid.conf the problem was that I didn't found that
in the manuals so I think that updating the hcid.conf manual is a
solution to the bug, and it will be nice to add a default value with a
comment to the package's hcid.conf, something like:
...
# Set the time in seconds the discovery mode will be enabled, change
to 0 to keep it forever
discovto 180;
...
