I read on some web pages that one need bluez-firmware to be able to operate the BroadCom 203x series bluetooth dongle correctly on a 2.4 kernel. So I am wondering what is the purpose of bluez-firmware? And how does it work?
that is a misunderstanding. For the 2.6 kernel you use a kernel module to load the firmware. For 2.4 an extra USB application was needed. Both however need the firmware files.

this package only contains the binary firmware blobs. Nothing more.
