This looks like a powerful framework, I may need to find some bluetooth
devices to play with if you're going to make it relatively easy to
configure them. :) I'm a bit dubious about the bluetooth.device.sample
idea.  What if you used an /etc/defaults/bluetooth.device that you
pulled in to set the defaults instead?  It could contain the current
example code, but set all the variables do define the defaults.  I think
that would be more in keeping with current practice.  Adding rc.conf.d
to mtree is probably a good idea regardless though.
