I don't have bluetooth but google says something about installing
gnome-bluetooth and it installs a udev rule to enable user permission for
rfkill.  There is also supposed to be an applet with it to enable/disable using
rfkill.

You mean the SHE part? Since people prefer for this to change based on
AC/Battery, its more a user land thing.

So eee-control or similar is definitely the right direction for controlling the
SHE part and the camera+card reader disable part since that has no overlap with
standard laptop features.  I would personally prefer if we could remove the
overlapping features from eee-control as not to confuse end users... but thats
just an opinion.
