Just out of curiosity, since we support a number of scenarios, which
one was that? In case someone else wants to chime in and test another
one…

Condensing the changelog:

     1. The default installation to @rootfs (bullseye and later)
     2. The default installation to subvolid=5 (buster or earlier).
        "subvolid=5" was chosen over "subvol=/" for maximum disambiguation.
     3. Add support for rescuing btrfs systems installed via the Calamares
        installer found on Debian Live images: it uses subvol=@ (instead of
        subvol=@rootfs as seen with debian-installer).

This /etc/fstab says 'defaults,subvol=/@rootfs' which IIRC was setup
using a Bookworm installer.

I quickly tested in a VM that it works as expected in the 3 scenarios.
