As packaged, the SAP server component no longer has any actual

patch the `bootstrap-configure` file in the source root directory, to
change `--enable-sap` to `--disable-sap`.
In its current form, the SIM Access Profile support of BlueZ is only
useful for developers, and even that requires modifying
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf before it will do anything other
than display an error message on Bluetooth service start-up. This is
true of both the version in bullseye and the current unstable version.
It seems since

"build: Add option to enable SAP profile"

the SAP plugin is not built by default.
Ubuntu does not have --enable-sap in their

for a long time, see
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/commit/debian/rules?id=3df71d750c11c4fffdaa59e56064ae3471e60b8c
I suggest to drop --enable-sap from debian/rules (see the attached
patch) to not confuse users troubleshooting their bluetooth issues.
As an alternative, src/bluetooth.service.in may be patched to disable
this plugin:
ExecStart=@pkglibexecdir@/bluetoothd --noplugin=sap
Do not build SIM Access Profile (sap) plugin
The sap plugin is not enabled by default,
unlikely useful nowadays, and causes a warning
on daemon startup due to missed D-Bus policy in
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf
