[Bug 873974] [NEW] do-release-upgrade fails from 11.04 to 11.10 due to missing btrfs-tools package

[Sami Haahtinen]

Public bug reported:

Release upgrade doesn't check whether btrfs-tools package is installed
before attempting to use the commands within the package.

I have an 11.04 installation (that was done with the installer, possibly
one of the betas) that uses btrfs root, but doesn't have btrfs-tools
installed. The attached trace is displayed, but doesn't really offer any
useful help on what went wrong. The easiest way to fix this would be to
check whether the btrfs-tools package is installed and install it if
not, assuming that the user is using btrfs.
