As another data point, Debian currently carries a patch[1] which allows us to enable the ZFS driver without installing the ZFS packages in the build environment: this is necessary because, due to its license, ZFS is kept outside of the main Debian repository.
Being able to use something like
-Dprog_zfs=/sbin/zfs -Dprog_zfspool=/sbin/zfspool
to achieve the same result would allow us to drop that patch, which I would be *extremely* happy about :)
The way I solved *that* specific problem was to use zfs-fuse at build-time and have runtime work with either implementation. That should work for you too, since Debian has zfs-fuse in main.
This sounds intriguing. Can you please point me to the code? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
