Am I understanding you correctly that you mean it violate the "Two
different packages must not install programs with different
functionality but with the same filenames" statement of policy 10.1?  It
is not obvious to me that this applies to two packages, one with
/usr/bin/arcstat and another with /usr/sbin/arcstat.  What make you sure
it violate policy?

In any case, I guess one way to avoid two binaries in $PATH with the
same name is to move one of them out of $PATH, for example by moving the
zfs binary to /usr/lib/zfs/arcstat.  Another way would be to rename it
to /usr/bin/zfs-arcstat.  Both approaches would make the Debian location
incompatible with ZFS on other platforms.
