Note: this is a one-liner patch. I am ready to open a MR.
I'm CCing Debian's Calamares maintainer, because I think this is an upstream Calamares bug. I hypothesise that the nature of the Calamares bug is that upstream assumes Ubuntu-style subvolume layout that we never intended to support in Debian.
Thank you, it would be good to know whether this layout comes from Calamares upstream, the Debian package or Debian Live configuration.
In case anyone missed the following reply to that bug:Have you been able to track down those discussions where we decided on @rootfs?
To be honest, I am not so interested in past discussions. I am more concerned about the current inconsistent state and interested in aligning partman and Calamares btrfs layouts in one way or the other and having rescue mode support both layouts in the meantime.
