Thank you for providing background. Given that zfs-linux was first
uploaded to Debian in 2016, it seems quite clear to me that the command
reasonably belongs to nordugrid. Do we all agree to reassign the bug
back to zfs-linux and have it release the name? If not, please discuss
with debian-devel at lists.debian.org.

Given that this issue is quite old and that forky is still quite in
progress, I don't see any reason to rush any action right now. Having a
civilized discussion and consensus on a long-term solution should be
focus from my point of view.
