pipewire is a good option for bluetooth, and the answer is for debian 12. Probably worth a try.

The nvme might be physically an older M.2 ssd with sata interface.

The point of zerofree (or just doing cat /dev/zero>zero.bin; rm zero.bin) is to reduce the size of a packed image file created with
dd or cat, e.g. cat /dev/sdXn | gzip >sdXn.img.gz.

When creating a partition image file as sparse file, these sectors are omitted anyway.

No solution, just some thoughts:

"libdconf1=0.38.0-2" looks like chimaera. Maybe something is left-over? (packages on hold? Or pinning in /etc/apt/preferecenes)?

ntpd: on one system upgraded to daedalus I did: apt purge ntp; apt install ntpsec.

Same for me.
Adding alreaday installed programs reduces the loss, but it's just trial and error.

EDIT:
Some more runs: Added iteratively "programs to remove" to install. The next one would be acceptable, but not sure about the desktop-* packages:

apt install -s elogind- seatd udisks2 kate libpolkit-qt5-1-1 alsa-tools-gui pm-utils

You can always run a simulation and see what would happen, e.g.:

sudo apt install -s elogind- libpam-ck-connector sway seatd

On my machine: Beside loosing some packages, there will be consolekit and seatd for elogind.

On my daedalus mini-server:

$ sudo cat  /proc/fs/nfsd/versions
-2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2

# file: /etc/nfs.conf
[nfsd]
vers2=y    # added this line, nothing else changed

$ sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
$ sudo cat  /proc/fs/nfsd/versions
+2 +3 +4 +4.1 +4.2

Looks good, but can not test it.

EDIT: Or is this the config for the client? dont't know

I would clean-up drastically, and then reinstall the stuff (again).
Purge gnome, install a simple DM.

apt install slim task-gnome-desktop-  --purge --auto-remove   ## there is a "-" after desktop 

Does the remaining xfce work?
if not purge it too, which should leave just the text console.

apt purge task-xfce-desktop slim --auto-remove

Be careful:
apt with option "-s" additionally runs a simulation.
Take care of the network, if you are using something else than dhcp.
"purge" will delete the (system-)config files too, when removing.

Edit: typo

That is a good question for Intel.

As written before, you may want to use uuids or labels to identify partitions.

apt will not downgrade a package versions, unless you pin it.

Or it was a bug:

I got the same installation and error respective ntp on my pc.
Beside the fail-message, ntpd was actually running (ps ax | grep ntpd).
The final fix in my case was: apt purge ntp. EDIT: To have ntp in any case, additionally: apt install ntpsec

Description:
There were two init.d-scripts existing, both return "fail" on "status".
/etc/init.d/ntp
/etc/init.d/ntpsec
After doing apt purge ntp, the file /etc/init.d/ntp was gone and /etc/init.d/ntpsec status now returns correctly "running".
Re-installing for testing purposes: apt install ntp did not harm anymore, it turned into a basically empty (meta-)package. I don't remember the exact content, but ntp was a "real" package with functionality.

Summary / assumption: package ntp was not upgraded corectly by the new metapackage. The (installed file-)content changed after de- and re-installing it.

I don't think it is "bug 700".
700 does not harm, it is an unhappy apt, complaining about an unfinished package installation, which functionally succeeded. Anything else is in order.
The error message looks like something went wrong with nvidia-persistenced.

What about the 2 not upgraded packages?
Just hoping that apt upgrade or dist-upgrade might fix it.
And de-installation is an option too.
