Adding a task for Xenial as requested on IRC. But note that I haven't
looked into the details of the proposed fix - in particular checking for
and understanding any proposed change in behaviour for Xenial users. So
please don't take this as a +1 from ~ubuntu-sru. Before accepting this
SRU, please consider whether the proposed fix is appropriate from
scratch.

Title:
Bluetooth LE pairing fail
Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in bluez source package in Xenial:
New
Bug description:
[Impact]
When the Bluetooth adapter is not powered on it is not possible to use
it in normal way. We used to have a hack to force powering on by using
an udev rule but this doe snot work anymore. Luckily the BlueZ has
introduced "AutoEnable" option that makes the stack power on adapters by
itself.
Backporting this to xenial will improve life of the desktop users and
will not require them to hack the solution on their own. The fix itself
uses the well known solution to this problem that is floating around
there for a while.
The upload fixes the bug by enabling the 'AutoEnable' option in the
bluetoothd config file.
[Original Report]
. 15.10 we now have bluez 5 so we can pair BLE devices like the
Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse.
But this pairing doesn't work very well. Mouse is seen but pairing fail.
More information: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104011#c5
This is due to udev rule that use "hcitool" to power on device.
Hopefully, bluez 5.35 has a new parameter "AutoEnable" who can be used
instead of udev rules.
here is a commit with this parameter:

[Test Case]
Edit the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and disable the 'AutoEnable' option.
Remove file 50-bluetooth-hci-auto-poweron.rules located in
/lib/udev/rules.d. Now reboot the machine. The BT adapter shall be
powered off now.
[Regression Potential]
Cannot think of any
