As Iain said, I filed this bug in the early stages of Karmic hoping that I could talk a kernel developer into pulling the btrfs tree. By now, it's not really that relevant anymore, as Lucid comes with a fairly recent btrfs implementation and the population that'd care about btrfs probably would have adopted Lucid already.
The addition of a btrfs-kernel-source DKMS package would be great, and something to look into doing for lucid+1 if btrfs doesn't stabilize more by then. So, as far as I'm concerned, this bug is no longer relevant and can be closed.
