I used plain isar, added "IMAGE_PREINSTALL += "bluetooth"" to the end
of meta-isar/recipes-core/images/isar-image-base.bb and did build it
with "bitbake mc:qemuamd64-bullseye:isar-image-base".

I booted it with
qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2 -enable-kvm -M q35 -m 2G -snapshot
build/tmp/deploy/images/qemuamd64/isar-image-base-debian-bullseye-qemuamd64.wic
-bios /usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd

Works as expected. Well i have the packages like "bluez" installed ...

Of cause in a real project one would create a layer with an own image
recipe and add the line there.
