It turns out debian-cd can list both btrfs-tools and btrfs-progs to
handle the transition, however long it takes.

#820479 (debian-cd) is now marked pending, and #820483 (partman-btrfs)
depends on this rename being uploaded to unstable.  Because Christian
Perrier tells me staging in experimental isn't feasible, "the
installer and its components doesn't make good use of experimental,"
(#820483, 9 April 2016) I've reuploaded a btrfs-progs package to
debian-mentors that targets unstable instead.

Thanks again!
