Thank you for the discussion! I found it educational and motivating, and hope that everyone found the same. It's really refreshing to see this. Sorry for the naivety in my analysis and in the delay replying; I've been drained/busy, but I read each of your emails carefully, wanted to reply to each of them, and chose not to CC everyone because that would be noisy.

That didn't work for a separate /usr.

In particular, I appreciate how your fix produces insight into debian-installer/rescue function, architecture, and style, and I hope to say thank you more substantially with an eventual MR for btrfs subvol support :-) It will be much less ugly and "tacked on" as a result of studying your changes!
