Wait you say squeeze. The thing is bluetooth changed significantly since
squeeze. If I am not mistaken wheezy to jessie. So jessie has the new
version of bluez. You can read there what changed if interested.
did you have a look here?

I am not familiar with bt keybards, but if it was working it should work in
stretch too. I spent time dealing with bt and my mobile phones. Now I use
blueman to manage the adapter, however I used also bluetoothctl several
times in the past. What happens if you try to connect and then pair?

FYI I have on jessie
