Dear Maintainer, I am working on debian-installer addon module which would make zfs modules and tools available in Debian installer. This addon is building zfs modules and tools from source in debootstraped chroot to avoid zfs binaries bundling. For that I am using zfs-linux source package. debian/README.Source documents building udeb packages with BUILD_UDEB=true, but this is broken. Problems I found when trying it on trixie with zfs 2.4.3 from backports: - debian/rules still uses old package names (libzfs5-udeb, libzpool6-udeb) in the BUILD_UDEB blocks. control.udeb.in was updated to libzfs7/libzpool7, but rules was not, so dh_makeshlibs and dh_strip fail. rules also references libzfsbootenv1-udeb, which is not defined in control.udeb.in. - the udeb install files are named libnvpair3linux-udeb.install.in and so on, but the packages are called libnvpair3-udeb etc., so dh_install ignores them and the library udebs are built empty. The files also point to .libs/ build tree paths that no longer exist in debian/tmp. - appending control.udeb.in to debian/control fails with "duplicate field Package", because control has no blank line at the end. - dh_makeshlibs --add-udeb=zfsutils-udeb fails, because zfsutils-linux has no shared libraries. - libnvpair3-udeb gets a dependency on libtirpc3t64 instead of libtirpc3-udeb, because libtirpc's shlibs file has no udeb line. The installer cannot install a normal deb. - zfs.ko in the zfs-modules-*-di udeb is not stripped (around 107 MB unpacked). The same problems exist in 2.3.2-2 in trixie, only with the older library names (rules uses libzfs5 there while control.udeb.in has libzfs6). I attach 6 patches against the packaging git (debian/2.4.3-2) that fix these points. With them, BUILD_UDEB=true builds all the udebs. They apply to master only; the trixie tree would need the same changes with its own library names. I tested the resulting udebs in the trixie debian-installer (netboot initrd and netinst ISO, in QEMU): the modules load, and zpool/zfs work in the installer (pool create, snapshot, scrub, export/import).
