... which seems like a mistake on the btrfs-tools side.

Fortunately though, an upcoming change in upstream util-linux
will likely help out here:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git/commit/disk-utils/mkfs.c?id=07b5156790f329835d7351aa4e803f3d623cde5d

Until that is actually released btrfs-tools should likely revert their change
(or atleast keep a compat symlink). Once they want to rely on the
new behaviour of util-linux they should add the relevant versioned
Depends/Breaks to their package to make sure the upgrade path is
smooth. Not providing correct package dependency declarations is
a potential serious issue (RC-severity).

Please contact the btrfs-tools maintainers for further discussion.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
