I use a cheap usb dongle (zaapa) - there are many others (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-USB-BT400-3Mbps-Bluetooth-Dongle/dp/B00CM83SC0/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1406186757&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+usb+bt ). Some people have luck using cheap supermarket dongles. It's sort of suck it and see.
Your debian needs to have bluetooth driver compiled in the kernel. Some debians have it, others don't. I guess this is the first thing to figure out. I'm not sure how to do that. I used truehl's Squeezeplug debian on a Pi to get bt working as it has the kernel drivers. First off - you need to install bluetooth (if it isn't already installed). You also need bluez-utils, bluez-alsa. alsa-utils might also be useful. I wrote a rough and ready guide - but not much point in linking to this until you can confirm that the kernel has bluetooth enabled.
