yes, this is a known issue. zdb is not really usable in Wheezy. I opted
to include it nonetheless because some features of it still work.

The underlying issue is - as far as I remember - that zdb does some
weird stuff with private pthread struct members which it shouldn't be
doing anyway and we have our own libc which does things differently
under the hood. Hence we stubbed/no-opted some code as far as I remember.

For the upcoming Jessie cycle I hope we can further improve ZFS support
though, including user space.
