Comment 17 for bug 617885

For background, I have just analysed the history in the git.gnome.org repo I mention. There hasn't been a change recently there, a.f.a.i.c.t. More specifically, their BTRFS detection code has been in there since Feb 23, 2009 (!!!) unaltered. So that makes it a part of upstream ever since GParted 0.4.4.

That gives me little reason to expect that packagers would change anything about the patch that is wreaking havoc at this point.
Let me add: I have only done a targeted history search, there might be other reasons why the patch would be removed/changed (and
 Aurimas might have concrete information on the debianized version that I don't have available), but this is what I _do have_ at the moment:

$ git remote -v
origin git://git.gnome.org/gparted (fetch)
origin git://git.gnome.org/gparted (push)

$ git log -i --grep=BTRFS --pickaxe-all
