  Description     : Improves grub by adding "btrfs snapshots" to the grub menu.

Debian Testing/Sid is nice, package breakage is not. There are snapshot filesystems which allow users to rollback their apt upgrades, but actually rolling back involves booting from an external media, which is not very fun. grub-btrfs trivializes btrfs snapshots by adding them to the user's grub so they can rollback upon boot. This feature built into distros like OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I don't think there are any packages currently in Debian that provide this functionality.

Even I, a Debian Stable user would love to have this functionality for upgrades just in case. I could set my system to have unattended-upgrades and rollback if something goes wrong.

This package also should be one of the easier ones to maintain, as it is just a small systemd service and a bash script.
So, to any willing maintainers out there, please sponsor my package request!
