Description:
It looks for me that pulseaudio requires a running bluetooth.service or it will print error messages:

###
pulseaudio[253]: [pulseaudio] bluetooth-util.c: org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters() failed: org.freedesktop.systemd1.LoadFailed: Unit dbus-org.bluez.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
###

Tomegun said [1] here that the wording of the error message can be improved.

This error message disappears after enabling "bluetooth.service"! So at least pulseaudio requires "bluetooth.service" or just thinks it needs "bluetooth.service". Currently bluetooth is an optional dependency of pulseaudio. Maybe "bluetooth.service" should be set as dependency of pulseaudio? Or pulseaudio should be configured differntly, so it doesn't require bluetooth or the error message shouldn't be printed in this case (I think this was the intention of Tomegun).

I recognized this only because I faced the same error message on my desktop (which doesn't include bluetooth-hardware) and the message disappeared after I enabled "bluetooth.service". Which is a workaround but not proper solution. On my laptop, which has bluetooth capable hardware, this message was never printed because I've enabled bluetooth.service during installation.
This task depends upon

it isn't required for pulseaudio to work, there is a reason bluez is in the opt-depends, still not a bug

It just shouldn't print the line.

Then mask dbus-org.bluez.service if you don't want to see it. There's no bug here.
