zfs-fuse has been orphaned at Oct 16th, and later Asias He expressed
his interest in adopting the package.[1]
After a quick look at the two versions of package, the old patch won't
work for 0.7.0-1, you may want to try the one prepared by Asias He at
your own risk. Use the following command to get the source and
debian.tar.gz:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/z/zfs-fuse/zfs-fuse_0.7.0-1.dsc
This version of zfs-fuse isn't a part of unstable/experimental, it may
damage your system and data. OK, you have been warned. I tried to
build it, and it won't build on i386, but builds fine on amd64. But I
haven't tried whether it works as expected.
