No, the hwdb.bin is specific to >=udev-180 (can't remember exact version, but it was around after 180) Did you mean to imply the bluez package is severely crippled without the database? If so, then why not do what Joshua asked but package.use.force the USE="udev" enabled, with an explanation in the comment, and let people unforce it if they really want? - Samuli
