After installing Utopic Unicorn, and having several unknown disconnection issues with both a Logiteck K810 and a Logitech T630, i retried the migration to Bluez 5. There are some PPAs out there almost ready for this version of Ubuntu, but more important IMHO is that there are packages already present upstream (Debian Jessie - 5.23-1). And those installed without trouble in the Utopic flavour.
After that, I'm experiencing a much better handling of the devices, not perfect, but trully improved. From upstream I also installed the 'bluedevil' packages which integrates pretty well into the current desktop. The troubleshooting and interacting experience will be much better thanks to the 'btmon' and the 'bluetoothctl' utilities. IDK why hcidump was deleted from the repositories.
AFAICT, there is no ALSA supported versions yet, but this could be an starting point to the 'most-wanted' and really needed migration process.
PS: Also I strongly disagree with the Wishlist categorization of this issue...
