What I'm afraid of is ftp-masters rejecting the package for license
issues (CDDL-GPL).

If the ftp-masters reject the package on a license issue basis this
would mean that zfs-linux won't get into Debian. So I rather will wait
for this before resuming my work on the current package.

I think the license isn't a problem at all because zfs-dkms only ships
source code (no binary distributed). And the binary utilities
distributed on zfsutils don't depend on any CDDL-incompatible
library/package.
