I'm willing to do an NMU if backintime's upstream will officially
support Debian's btrfs layout ("@rootfs" rather than "@").  Without that
I don't see the point of doing an NMU to make something allegedly buggy
(and nonfunctional) allegedly not buggy (and nonfunctional).  I would
also encourage upstream to support Fedora's flat layout ("root" and
"home" if I remember correctly, maybe "rootfs").  It's still just a
two-subvolume flat layout.

Given that they all use the same flat layout (unlike SUSE), refusing to
support them is political rather than technical.

Best,
Nicholas
