I was of the impression that passkey-agent and auth-agent were 
unsupported/sample programs.  Am I correct?
As far as I can tell, they are undocumented, neither in the tarball, nor in 
the wiki (aside from a few brief mentions)
I don't have a full build system up right now, but judging from the various 
Makefile.in files in the tarball, it appears they are not built by default.
Debian does not distribute them-- does any distribution?

When I set up my bluetooth headphones back in December, the only way I could 
figure out to do it was to switch window managers to something compatible with 
the gnome bluetooth-applet.  I'd be very happy to hear that there is now a 
supported command-line app for this.
