I tested the package on a new system that hadn't gotten the new firmware installed yet. Bluetooth works after installing the test package.

So installing Ubuntu 17.04 just once, will leave Bluetooth in a working state forever. I was able to consistently produce the issue on a *brand new* Kabylake Meerkat 3. With Ubuntu 16.04.2, bluetooth didn't work. I copied the ibt-12-16.sfi and ibt-12-16.ddc into /lib/firmware/intel and rebooted. After this point, Bluetooth worked (and continued to work after reinstalling Ubuntu 16.04.2 and *not* copying the firmware files again).
