From my experience /boot/zfs/zpool.cache is needed to boot from ZFS and
aborting update-grub and letting user intervene is the second best action.
Best option would be to create both directory and file but I don't know
how to do so without remounting. Do you know a possibility?
So the only problem from GRUB is an inappropriate error message.
Upstream we have:
      ls "${dirname}/zfs/zpool.cache" > /dev/null
which should give the appropriate error message. Debian, however, uses
      test -e "${dirname}/zfs/zpool.cache"
Which obviously gives no error.
