Sorry, I did not understood this part.

Judging by my investigation, is RREPLACES needed or not?

I believe that RREPLACES is not needed, it could cause problems if a feed builds the bluez5 packages but does not want to use them, without the RREPLACES it requires a conscious effort on the target to get the update.

The upgrade case is exactly why we should not have RREPLACES.

Sau!

Conclusion: BlueZ 5.x will be eventually an upgrade path for an
already installed embedded device. As such, RREPLACES is needed for a 
system-wide upgrade.

It wasn't very obvious to me that these results make a compelling case for 
bluez4 needing to RREPLACE bluez5.  Indeed, this section:

root@qemux86:~# opkg install bluez5
Multiple replacers for bluez5, using first one (bluez4).
Package bluez4 is already installed on root.
root@qemux86:~# opkg list-installed | grep bluez
bluez4 - 4.101-r6.0
libasound-module-bluez - 4.101-r6.0

... seems to illustrate (modulo the usual amount of opkg craziness) why having 
it be so is not a very good thing.
