Description:
According to the btrfs wiki (https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#What.27s_the_difference_between_btrfsck_and_fsck.btrfs), since btrfs filesystems do not need to be fscked on every boot-up, it's "safe and recommended" to have fsck.btrfs be a no-op, i.e. a symlink to 'true'. Having such a symlink in the btrfs-progs package would suppress the mildly annoying "fsck.btrfs not found" message that appears on every mkinitcpio invocation.

Additional info:
* package version(s) 0.20rc1.2-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  This is not a good idea, if btrfs will get a correct fsck utility.

If you want to suppress the error, then get rid of the fsck hook. We should not do this.
