Hi Yaroslav,

Would you please reply to this debian-backports thread?

I've CCed Yaroslav in the hopes that he will support/maintain this
backport.  I'm not the man for the job, because I treat btrfs
snapshots like LVM ones.  eg: I create snapshots before a backup,
backup, and then remove all snapshots.  If I were to maintain a
stretch-backport it wouldn't receive any testing before being
uploaded...

Sincerely,
Nicholas
