IMHO, I think the ability to poke btrfs internal really should be
provided by btrfs-progs package and maintained by btrfs community.
fstests provides some fs-independent c helpers to assist testing, but
not necessarily needs to "understand" filesystem internals.

For historical reason, building fstests requires xfsprogs development
headers, we'd better not introduce new fs-specific dependencies.
