It was "visible" in 3.13, see the Debian bug link, there are modinfo of the
3.13 and 3.14 modules compared side by side. I wonder is there really no way to
make it show up in the actual module dependencies as before?

To me patching initrd creation tools to special-case "if btrfs then add crc32"
seems to be a really bizarre way of dealing with the issue.
