Yes, I'm not questioning the source for the key names.  That's perfect.

I'm questioning the need to change "KEY_BLUETOOTH" to "bluetooth", when
the constants in fact are the same.  Might be just me, but I find such
changes confusing and I start wondering "why?  what is it I don't see
here?".

I do realise that the currect names can't be changed.  Too late to do
anything about those.  I'm just trying to understand hal, and it doesn't
work out too well at the moment...
