Unfortunately, debian's ZoL only fully supports systemd at the moment.

Until this is resolved satisfactorily, you can copy the ZoL init scripts
and run:

update-rc.d zfs-import defaults
update-rc.d zfs-mount defaults
update-rc.d zfs-zed defaults
update-rc.d zfs-share defaults

It Worked For Me<tm>


I've since seen notes saying:

    INSTALLING INIT SCRIPT LINKS

      To setup the init script links in /etc/rc?.d manually on a Debian
      GNU/Linux (or derived) system, run the following commands (the
      order is important!):

        update-rc.d zfs-import start 07 S .       stop 07 0 1 6 .
        update-rc.d zfs-mount  start 02 2 3 4 5 . stop 06 0 1 6 .
        update-rc.d zfs-zed    start 07 2 3 4 5 . stop 08 0 1 6 .
        update-rc.d zfs-share  start 27 2 3 4 5 . stop 05 0 1 6 .


When I asked Aron Xu about this back in Feb, he said:

I guess that means "patches welcome".
