My apologies for making this grave bug.  I've been building the zfs packages
for upwards of two years now for the sysvinit bug and never had Debian
specific check before.

When I saw the https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7540 bug where
Serphentas said it had the error on Stretch, I thought it was affecting Debian
and Debian based systems.

I saw the fix in git master, but I still don't see the reason why lsb_release
is used as the test to determine where the kernel source is.  There must be a
better way to test this when using lsb_release.

I've attached a better looking patch that removes the lsb_release check.  I'm
not sure why the other one looked so ugly when I used quilt before.
