According to the modprobe.d documentation,

    the blacklist keyword indicates that all of that particular
    module's internal aliases are to be ignored.


This means blacklisting doesn't prevent the module from being loaded, it
should prevents it from being automatically loaded for any feature it
claims to implement. Eg, bluetooth.ko has an internal alias

net-pf-31

and blacklisting it would mean it won't be loaded to provide net-pf-31
just because of the internal alias alone. But if would be loaded if
someone defined an alias

alias net-pf-31 bluetooth

in some other file.

It should be possible to use something like

install bluetooth /bin/true

in a modprobe conf file instead. This should execute the replacement
command (/bin/true) whenever something wanted to load bluetooth without
using -i on the modprobe command line.

According to modprobe(8), the correct syntax for command-line
blacklisting is

modprobe.blacklist=<module>

ie

modprobe.blacklist=bluetooth

for this case. bluetooth.blacklist=yes would pass a parameter
blacklist=yes to the bluetooth module upon load --- likely not what was
intended.
