Bug Description

Currently, the package doesn't allow the user to recover from updates that broke system bootup.

An option to solve that would be to extend the grub boot menu with past snapshots. This way, the user could just boot an earlier snapshot and recover from there.

There is https://github.com/Antynea/grub-btrfs

It looks in "/.snapshots" (which is also used by snapper https://github.com/openSUSE/snapper).

I outlined work needed to save snapshots to the same folder: https://github.com/darkdragon-001/apt-btrfs-snapshot/issues/1
Would be nice if someone finds the time to implement it. I would happily accept PRs.
