Bug Description
[Impact]
* Upstream, other distributions, and Ubuntu Bionic+ use btrfs-progs name for this package
* For historical reasons, this package was called btrfs-tools
* To ease usability and automation it would be nice if the future-proof name would be available on older releases as a Provides:
[Test Case]
* $ apt install btrfs-progs
Should install btrfs-tools package on xenial, and have btrfs
[Regression Potential]
* We are rebuilding the btrfs package, and adding extra metadata without any other code changes. So the only risks there are, are from doing a no-change rebuild of the package.
[Other Info]
* Examples of automation that install btrfs:
- ansible playbooks
- lxd
- curtin
- cloud-init
- juju
- interactive sysadmins
