Hi Michael,

Looks like our replies crossed in the ether.

I meant the lkml for btrfs.  If fsarchiver upstream is unwilling to
challenge their assumptions in light of new evidence then I'll agree
it's pointless.

Oh, this is for an autopkgtest...I'm not sure how much what I wrote
about safer UUID-handling approaches applies to actual fsarchive
functioning.  If it seems relevant, would you please forward what I sent
you (and this bug) to fsarchiver's upstream?  File systems and backup
software are two things that should always follow best practises and err
on the side of caution.

You're welcome!  I hope as members of Debian that we can continue to be
effective in encouraging the larger FLOSS community to do the right
thing.

Cheers,
Nicholas
