Title:
  ubuntu includes btrfs, but does not support it

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  btrfs has been a choosable filesystem for a while now, but has been
  unusable due to ubuntu refusing to include support for it in grub2.
  Every time a user tries to boot into a btrfs filesystem, they get a
  sparse file not allowed error. This bug has been known and easily
  fixable for a while, but ubuntu refuses to properly support btrfs.
