I can only speak from an upstream perspective (since I'm not familiar
with distro-specific packaging conventions), but btmon is what you'll
find in the monitor subdirectory of the bluez source tree.

If you want, the Bluetooth subsystem does support the dynamic debug
feature, so you could enable logs for hci_core.c and hci_event.c.
However, this will likely still not be enough and the HCI logs would
anyway be needed. One thing to note is that btmon is a quite new tool
which may not yet be packaged by your distro (it appeared in BlueZ 5,
released 6 months ago). An alternative which should work too is hcidump,
probably packed in a bluez-hcidump package on your distro.

Nope, that still doesn't show anything new compared to what we already
know. The interesting part is what messages the kernel is exchanging
with the Bluetooth hardware and the only way the get a full
understanding of that is with btmon or hcidump.
