Source: btrfs-tools
Version: 4.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

This is a followup bug report asking you to revert the changes
you did to handle #770806 (where you IMHO should just have answered "no").

By moving binaries around (without even keeping compat symlinks) you
cause all kinds of breakage.

Just one example is that "mkfs -t btrfs ..." apparently no longer works.

That some tools does not need superuser privilegies is no reason
to move them out of sbin (into bin). Basically all tools in sbin
/can/ be used for something without privilegies. Powerusers who
wants to run administrative commands unprivilegied should simply
update their $PATH to include /sbin:/usr/sbin/:/usr/local/sbin.

If you insist on moving the files around anyway, you'll need to
provide compat symlinks basically until eternity to avoid
causing breakage.

Please revert to /sbin ASAP to keep damage minimal.
