I eventually solved my problem by adding
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(simple-service 'dbus-extras
                dbus-root-service-type
                (list blueman))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to service list, and loading
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(gnu packages networking)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
to load blueman in the declaration.

Will close this bug report since it is not deemed to be one.


Kind regards
Simon
