Bug Description

The "avinfo" command line tools available in bluez/tools (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/tools) is not available in the package.

The package bluez-tools (https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/bluez-tools) seems to map another project external to bluez (https://github.com/khvzak/bluez-tools) and not the "tools" folder of bluez.

"avinfo" is used for example in order to check which codecs are supported by a headphone set (see https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt/issues/31#issuecomment-462717049).

Maybe have "bluez-tools" map the "tools" folder of bluez, and move the other project to another package?

Thanks, upstream doesn't install that utility and they seem to consider it experimentl, fedora is including it in their binary though, we could probably do the same for Ubuntu
