Correct you are! The various incantations used different filters and
one of them worked. I have no idea what filters are and I would die a

I use Debian testing, so it's whatever kernel and btrfs packages that
were in that as of yesterday.

Makes sense. So why did I get the exact same problem when I enabled
the debug-shell? Unless it's also lying to me, doesn't it boot into a
proper root shell?
