Package: timeshift
Version: 22.11.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
X-Debbugs-Cc: truescore149...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

User cant make BTRFS snapshots without "@" subvolume (debian uses "@rootfs"),
but user can make RSYNC snapshot. The problem is that when you try to restore
that snapshot, you have alert about wrong BTRFS subvolumes, but RSYNC doesnt
need BTRFS subvolumes.

Steps to reproduce :
* Install Debian on BTRFS
* Create a RSYNC (not BTRFS) snapshot
* Try to restore that snapshot

Upstream doesnt have that problem, but I decided to report it because it can
greatly damage the system due to the illusion of security. The user creates a
snapshot thinking that this will save him from serious system errors and
ultimately will not be able to recover.

Thank you for your attention,
