   As far as I know, the license picked by SUN Microsystems for the ZFS   
   implementation in Solaris, which was explicitly phrased to be   
   incompatible with the Linux kernel license and prohibits distribution of   
   combined works, if I remember correctly, is the blocker for this.  It is   
   thus a legal risk involved in distributing prebuilt binary packages.  I   
   am aware that Ubuntu have choosen to accept this risk and distribute   
   prebuilt binary packages anyway.  I guess they feel their stock of   
   lawyers make this an acceptable risk.  It is not obvious that Debian   
   have the required surplus of cash to take a similar risk.   
      
   Note, I would love to be able to set up Debian with zfs on the root file   
   system with packages directly from the Debian archive, but have no idea   
   how to make it happen with the current legal constraints.
