This bug was fixed in the package btrfs-tools - 4.4-1ubuntu1.1

---------------
btrfs-tools (4.4-1ubuntu1.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Add `Provides: btrfs-progs` to btrfs-tools as a more common upstream
    name for the package, which started to be used by default in bionic
    and later. This helps users to install the btrfs utility irrespective
    if they use legacy or the futureproof name. LP: #1839500
