Title:
  os-prober needs a check for subvolumes on btrfs formatted root
  partitions

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  os-prober will not find other ubuntu installs when their root
  partitons are Btrfs and created by ubiquity.  Ubuntu creates
  subvolumes with the @ for root and @home.  os-prober needs to check
  inside the @ subvolume or there needs to be a symlink to @/boot @/etc
  which is hackish/not sane otherwise the other already installed ubuntu
  versions get overwritten or not seen in the grub menu.
