Really?  That's not what the package description says..

Package:btrfs-tools 


Priority: optional 


Section: admin
Installed-Size: 1288
Maintainer: Daniel Baumann <daniel@lists.debian-maintainers.org>
Architecture: amd64
Version: 0.19+20100601-3

 This package contains utilities (mkfs, fsck, btrfsctl) used to work 
with btrfs
 and an utility (btrfs-convert) to make a btrfs filesystem from an ext3.

Is it wrong???
