Public bug reported:

Watching the Ubuntu console while installing, I noticed that mkinitramfs
keeps complaining that it could not find fsck.btrfs. I looked into it
and noticed that both mkfs.btrfs and fsck.btrfs are being installed into
/bin instead of /sbin proper. A quick workaround is to copy the files
from /bin to /sbin, but this is a major issue as if the user boots from
a btrfs root filesystem and the root filesystem gets corrupted, then the
user will not be able to fsck the filesystem when dumped at the initrd.

** Affects: btrfs-tools (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => btrfs-tools (Ubuntu)
