very nice to know.

Does that create a binary-only package that satisfies all
the required deps for the other zfs packages?

[later]

I just tried this with:

    dpkg-buildpackage --target override_dh_binary-modules -b -us -uc

the build failed with:

dpkg-buildpackage: source package zfs-linux
dpkg-buildpackage: source version 0.6.5.6-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source distribution unstable
.
.
.

dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules override_dh_binary-modules gave error exit status 2



is there some specific (documented??) procedure to follow to make this work?
