Seconded.
Since the rumors of ZoL in Debian GNU/Linux stated that there
would "probably", "most likely" (etc) not be allowed binary
modules. We're still waiting for the final word on that though.
But I started experimenting with using zfs-fuse in the installer
and dkms built modules in the resulting install. This worked out
very good (eventually), but I had to increase the boot image quite
substantially.
Also, I've had nothing but trouble with the reduction in all my
tests (sometimes it wouldn't work at all, it would remove important
parts of libraries etc, etc) and work with getting ZoL in D-I (with
or without zfs-fuse). So I've always disabled it locally.
It shouldn't be needed any more, and besides, as Aurelien have shown,
the gain is minimal anyway.
