The user interface is the same, but modify the source to build on
linux-any isn't recommended (or even not possible to make it work).
ZFS in FreeBSD and zfs-linux have the same origin (OpenSolaris ZFS
code), but they are modified by different group of people to adapt to
the platform, the only coordinated thing is keeping the same resulting
behavior and user interface (command line).

These are inherited from the widely spread build of debian packages
for zfs-linux, I intended to try to keep upgrade path from that copy
to Debian one, but I've dropped above stuff in git. Also -dbg is
merged into one. I'll build and upload the modified version after
sending this email.
