Description of the issue from the fixing commit ...


Btrfstune changed it's command line help output from being written on
stderr to being written on stdout in the following commit first included
in btrfs-progs 4.7.2 released 03 Sep 2016.  This breaks GParted
detection of the change UUID capability.
