It can't be a good thing... It's not a good thing and certainly isn't kdebluetooth's fault. I also can't see anything which might cause it in bluez-utils' postinst (and it's certainly not shipped like that) so I'm inclined to say it's a weird local effect and not bug-worthy. Possibly you killed dpkg half-way through an upgrade or something (as suggested by the dpkg-new. bluetooth -> bluetooth is _still_ weird though) > A symbolic link to itself?

If I were you I'd just fix it on your system either with that mv or by removing the symlink and apt-get install --reinstall bluez-utils. I'm retitling the bug for the libdbus incompatibility and downgrading the severity. If you think there is a bug here with the symlinks then file a new one (or clone this one) against bluez-utils, but ideally only if you can reproduce it---it's certainly is fine here and I can't imagine it affects anyone else.
