[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#900656: Depending on kernel version?

[Michael Wyraz]

How about depending the dkms on kernel versions known to work with it?

Example: zfs-dkms-0.7.9-3~bpo9+1 should depend on linux-image<4.17

This should prevent the kernel from being upgraded if the dkms is 
installed. If a new kernel occurs and it's approved that it works with 
ZFS 0.7.9, a new release of the zfs package could be made that updates 
this dependency.

Furthermore, zfs-dkms should require on the same version of spl-dkms to 
ensure interoperability (rather than specifying a range).
