Just installed Debian Trixie RC 1. During the expert installation I'm asked what drivers to include in the initrd. When I choose "targeted" and finish the installation, I cannot activate the bluetooth toggle in Gnome settings, the toggle immediately switches back to disabled. When I choose the "Generic" drivers to be included during install, I have no problem and bluetooth is activated at first boot after installation.
When "targeted" is selected, the installer only creates a file /target/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy which contains "MODULES=dep". This tells initramfs-tools to include only modules believed to be useful for the machine into the initramfs. In either case, only modules needed for early boot (input, storage, network, graphics if plymouth splash screen is installed) are included. Other modules can be loaded later, after the root filesystem is mounted. I am not sure about bluetooth modules, they may be needed with a a bluetooth keyboard.
After the installation you can change the initramfs type by setting the value of MODULES to "dep" (targeted) or "most" (generic) and rebuilding the initramfs with update-initramfs -u.
Can you compare the output of lsmod with either type ?
