Quite. This is verbatim patch as I have currently applied in Debian
packaging, and it was a fast fix to prevent breakage we had at one
point.

Indeed using "strstr(bname, "fsck")" would be better and sufficient to
resolve the problem we encountered (specifically fsck.btrfs -> btrfs
not acting like btrfs). Also using strstr, would fix btrfsck.my-build
to act like fsck tool.

I'll update this one patch.
