This adds btrfs-progs, zstd and lzo to the closure with a total of
7.7MiB. So that doesn't seem to big. I'm just wondering if we need btrfs
support here at all, as I would call btrfs still kind of exotic apart
from *SUSE distros and Facebook's backend.

Yeah, maybe it is too niche. I use it on all my machines but that's just
me. Let's wait to see if there are more comments before deciding.

Maybe %base-packages is the wrong place to add it. But it should at
least be added to the system profile if a file-systems entry uses btrfs
which isn't the case as I recall.

You're right, that's a much better idea!
