Here it is... it installs on my tablet, but I'm not sure how to test if it's working.

It requires:
libbluetooth2
bluez-utils
libxml2
libncurses5

which are all available in the standard repos.

Code:
Nokia-N810-23-14:/media/mmc1# dpkg -i btscanner_2.1-1_armel.deb
Selecting previously deselected package btscanner.
(Reading database ... 19189 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking btscanner (from btscanner_2.1-1_armel.deb) ...
Setting up btscanner (2.1-1) ...
Nokia-N810-23-14:/media/mmc1# btscanner --h
Usage: btscanner [options]
options
        --help  Display help
        --cfg=<file>    Use <file> as the config file
        --no-reset      Do not reset the Bluetooth adapter before scanning
It runs... but seems to require a small fontsize in the terminal.

I quickly tried it and saw my laptop.

It's my second deb - so someone please let me know if I'm doing something bassackwards.

Good luck,
Mike

EDIT: Removed deb due to screen width issues. See deb below
