	Module build for kernel 4.9.0-11-amd64 was skipped since the

The package should offer to install a suitable Linux headers package,
ask for user confirmation, install the headers, and continue installing
ZFS.

If zfs-dkms is being installed non-interactively, it should install
a suitable Linux headers package and continue.
