I am planning to provide this package for precise via archive, backports
or a ppa.

I haven't currently tested this package with precise's kernel.

This package might be backported to precise together with the quantal's
kernel.

Please stay tuned. I will be blogging about it on Planet Ubuntu.

Regards,

Dmitrijs.

  Debian version is almost the latest from Chris Masson on
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git

  Please merge or sync new btrfs-tools from Debian testing or unstable

  Doing so might fix btrfsck reporting errors when dealing with a btrfs
  partition using compress=lzo.

  couldn't open because of unsupported option features (8).
  btrfsck: disk-io.c:679: open_ctree_fd: Assertion `!(1)' failed

  This is on Precise but also true for older Ubuntu versions
