(Do you know why your mail client (or perhaps server) wraps at 115
chars? 72 or 69 or even 80 would be much better...)
In stretch I see:
zfs-dracut zfs-dkms zfs-initramfs zfsutils-linux
however they're all in "contrib" rather than main.
Can someone explain if there's an -actual- non-free dependency that
these packages have, or if it is just the somewhat-incompatibility
between ZFS CDDL and Linux GPL?
Since at least zfs-fuse dispels the "is bound to Linux kernel" part.
TIA,
