> ZFS relies on mtab which is a broken concept (putting info about mounted file systems on a mounted file system).
> The upstream commit "79251738" addresses the situation by relying on /proc/self/mounts instead. 

On Debian GNU/Linux almost since the "dawn of time", /etc/mtab is a symlink to /proc/self/mounts so this is less of a problem on Debian GNU/Linux.
