So run apt full-upgrade and get the new bluetooth driver. Why bother with a fight over something that isn't even used? Just do the quickest thing to get it off your plate.

This might cause other problems, problems of the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" variety. Upgrading everything only to break something else, in a previously stable configuration, isn't worth it.

  • Really the days of "Lets run this stable configuration forever" are gone.

    Getting rid of as much stuff in your OS and software stack as possible should be the security teams ultimate goal, so you have less to upgrade in the end. But actual security updates just come out at a tremendous rate, and you need a QA system that checks as much as it can before prod is upgraded.
