Bug Description
When attempting to install Ubuntu 22.04 into a system that has a pre-created btrfs with drive mirroring (or multiple devices in general - the logs here show the case when I was using merged drives without any raid settings), Ubiquity crashes because at the bootloader installation step, for some reason it assumes that I am running ZFS and tries to run zsys finalize, which of course causes a crash, because I am not using ZFS. So it seems that the installer somewhere does an assumption "multiple devices = ZFS", which is not true. Installation succeeds on the same system as soon as I unlink the drives (i.e. do a btrfs dev remove on one of the drives).
