You might be interested in the functionality provided by osso-bttools
and osso-gwconnect packages. osso-bttols provides tools for doing e.g. 
bluetooth pairing and handling of link-keys. osso-gwconnect provides
D-BUS interfaces for Bluetooth search (inquiry), SDP and creating RFCOMM
connections (such as dialup or file transfer). All of this is accessible
by user applications using the system D-BUS (actually the link key
editor, btlk, only has a command line interface, but a D-BUS interface
could easily be added to it as well).
