As far as I can see, python2 is only required for a few scripts within bluez:

$ pacman -Qlq bluez | xargs grep python2 2>/dev/null
/usr/bin/bluez-simple-agent:#!/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/bluez-test-device:#!/usr/bin/python2
/usr/bin/bluez-test-input:#!/usr/bin/python2

Other than that, python2 is mostly not needed. For instance, qemu depends on bluez but does not use any of the python2 features.

Therefore it would be nice to have python2 as an optdepends in bluez' PKGBUILD.
This task depends upon

Sorry for missing this. qemu now depends on bluez-libs, and I'm fixing bluez4 to make the python2 dep optional.
