I wanted to touch base again on this. I'm now having Devuan users contact me
regarding zfs not working on testing and are asking me how to get it working.

I know the Devuan Devs are hesitant to fork the ZFS packages since none of the
Devs are using it. However, the current packages are broken and do not work
on Devuan.

I run ZFS on quite a few systems and I have three zfs test VMs that I created.
I'm more then happy to test the forked packages before they are released to
the apt repository.
