The package maintainer did this change:

bluez (4.45-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/bluez.bluetooth.default:
    - Drop.  Doesn't do anything now.
  * debian/bluez.bluetooth.init:
    - Drop most calls in this script as now all it serves as
      is to workaround a problem with dbus not being ready early
      enough. Once dbus is started by an upstart service, this
      should be able to be converted to an upstart service too.

As a result, rfcomm is not started automatically anymore. It broke my
ppp configuration to connect to 3G network. Now I must manually run:

# rfcomm bind all

every boot in order for things to work out.

It is now up to the package maintainer to decide where to go from here:

1. Restore rfcomm call from inside the bluetooth init script
2. Insert rfcomm call somewhere else
3. Force all users who need to manually add "rfcomm bind all" to initialization 
scripts manually.

For now, as a quick & dirty trick, edit /etc/rc.local at the end and add
this line:

/usr/bin/rfcomm bind all &

before the "exit 0" line.

Hope this helps.

Bye.
