Description : a Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile server
HFP for Linux is a Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile server.
It allows your Linux system to act as a speakerphone for your mobile
phone. It aims to be a compliant Bluetooth HFP 1.5 Hands Free
implementation, supporting all required commands and notifications, as
well as streaming audio.
HFP for Linux was designed specifically for automotive computing
applications, but it can be used just as well in a desktop
environment.
Features:
* Supports device scanning, connection, disconnection, and automatic
reconnection
* Supports multiple concurrently connected audio gateway devices
* Resilient to loss of Bluetooth service
* Supports the ALSA and OSS audio hardware interfaces
* Supports microphone input cleanup, including echo cancelation and
noise reduction.
A mail has been sent to the maintainer about the package name (the
configure.in name is libhfp) and the release scheme.
The initial packaging will be on collab-maint in git.
cheers

According to the documentation this software only supports HFP up to
version 1.5. Meanwhile the standard already moves to version 1.9. As the
upstream project seems to be dead, I don't think it makes sense to
package this outdated software for Debian.
