It was "visible" in 3.13, see the Debian bug link, there are modinfo of the 3.13 and 3.14 modules compared side by side. I wonder is there really no way to make it show up in the actual module dependencies as before? To me patching initrd creation tools to special-case "if btrfs then add crc32" seems to be a really bizarre way of dealing with the issue. -- With respect, Roman
