Even if you bypassed the format operation you'd still need to specify the compression somehow during the mount and in the fstab.
This is too niche a feature to be included in the installer. That said there are two options:
sudo live-installer --expert-mode
.
I try to install LMDE4 to already formatted Btrfs partition with compression=lzo property. Usually, in Linux Mint (Ubuntu), I format partition before installation and set compression to Btrfs filesystem. But here I can not do this. Installer warning me that I must indicate a filesystem to formate the root (/) partition with before proceeding. Installation continues only if I set format partition.

Please, make possible to install LMDE without formating already formatted BTRFS partition.
