Ah, right, I overlooked this.
I think we could avoid this problem with more strict depends, e.g.:
Package: zfsutils
Depends: libzfs (= ${source:Version})
What do you think?

Well it's just a plan. Nobody volunteered to package dtrace yet
anyway. But it seems like this approach results in less work in the
long term don't you think? Our manpower is very scarce as you can see
