Just a sidenote: Upstream doesn't like GPL, but they generally value
GPL compatibility. I think it's likely they would accept replacing
some code to archieve this in libmd.

Ok, so I'd only set Dm-Upload-Allowed. At that point you can upload

I suppose a "Breaks: zfsutils (<< 8.3~)" for newer kernels would handle this?
