questions about connecting bluez interface

[Simon Fels]

Hey Robert,

the bluez plug and slot are now auto-connected as we put a snap-declaration
for it on the store side in place. That assertion tells snapd that the
bluez snap should get its slots/plugs automatically connected. But this
only applies for the bluez snap coming from the store. If you install one
you built locally you don't have the signed assertion from the store which
would tell snapd to auto-connect the relevant plugs and slots.

However I am not sure why the interface connection is denied when you do it
manually. @Samuele, Jamie: Any idea?

regards,
Simon
