I see a problem with longterm kernel is Buster (4.19).
4.19.38 doesn't build with zfs 0.7.12
OK, 4.19.37 will be the Buster kernel, but has we upgrade recent kernel
from longterm branch for stable release the next stable release will
probably break zfs.
So zfs 0.7.13 is probably a good choice for Buster.
This is because kernel 5.0 "drops export of __kernel_fpu_begin/end" has
been back-ported to 4.19.38 (and also 4.14.120) kernel and fixed in zfs 0.7.13
