The thing is someone should sysvinit scripts should be installed by default.
This bug is more then two years old and there was a working patch posted 18
months ago.  I've been continuing to update the patch and it is still not
being included.   This is starting to seem more and more deliberate at this
point to never support sysvinit for ZFS, and to not support something a
critical as a file system.
