Just to be clear, it's only *auto-detection* that's not supported.  It's
still possible to format your root device as ZFS (or any other file
system) held by encrypted disks.  Adding the ‘initramfs’ option to the
crypttab(5) entries for the underlying devices should do the trick, cf.
https://bugs.debian.org/820888#32 .

Not beside parsing `zpool`'s output, which I'm afraid I still object to.

That being said, I don't mind implementing an option to silence the
warning that the root FS can't be found.  At least since 2:2.0.3-5 there
should be only one warning (like with ≤2:2.0.3-1), cf.
https://bugs.debian.org/902449#21 .
