Package: src:btrfs-tools Version: 4.0-1 Severity: serious Justification: Debian Policy violation
/bin/mkfs.btrfs and /bin/fsck.btrfs are Policy and FHS violations. See the "must" directive in Policy §9.1.1 "The location of all files and directories must comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), version 3.0, with the exceptions noted below, and except where doing so would violate other terms of Debian Policy." https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html Following up in FHS 3.0 §3.16.3 see the following "must" directive: "The following files, or symbolic links to files, must be in /sbin if the corresponding subsystem is installed: … fsck.* … mkfs.*" https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.pdf Policy does not make an exception for mkfs.* or fsck.*, therefore both must be installed to /sbin (or /usr/sbin on usrmerged systems).
