The following text appears in the "Squeeze" release announcement
(http://www.debian.org/News/2011/20110205a.html):

The second paragraph suggests that Btrfs is available at installation time.
However both the release notes
(http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/releasenotes) and the installation
manual (http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/installmanual) do not mention
this possibility.
To be more precise, the release notes state (chapter 3):
> This release of the installer supports the use of the ext4 file system
> and it also simplifies the creation of RAID, LVM and crypto protected
> partitioning systems. Support for the reiserfs file system is no longer
> included by default, although it can be optionally loaded.
Whereas the installation manual (section 6.3.3.1) lists: ext2, ext3, ext4, jfs,
xfs, reiserfs, qnx4, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS as file systems that are supported by
the installer.
It is still not clear to me whether the installer recognizes and creates Btrfs
partitions. If it does, it should be added to the release notes and
installation manual; if not, it should not be advertised in the release
announcement.
