Bug Description

`gpart` provides the possibility to recognize partition with pluggable modules. It'd be great to develop such and provide them by default in the `gpart` package (or in separate packages `gpart-btrfs`, `gpart-zfs` or `gpart-modules`).

It seems like the development stopped at version 0.1f in 2001[1] although 0.1h is provided since before trusty. It be good if Ubuntu would provide a possibility to recognize partitions on disks with a broken partition table. As long as there's no alternative, development of `gpart` is a viable option, I guess.

I've collated multiple patches for gpart and just a few days ago got a patch to add btrfs support. I released 0.3 with this new support. Hopefully it will go into Debian at some point in the near future and from there can flow to Ubuntu as well.
