note: I am not the maintainer or even a DM in general.. you could have probably saved yourself a lot of effort if you had read the full history of this bug, and noticed I already have a working 0.7.2 branch for SPL and ZFS up on my github ;) I am planning to do an NMU for 0.6.5.11 with compat patches for 4.13 if I find a sponsor (this weekend), and then a bigger NMU for 0.7.2 (in which I will introduce a new binary package zfs-test in accordance with upstream's packaging, which means a trip through NEW) soon after. the zfsonlinux maintainers for Debian are pretty much inactive currently, so if you want to help out you are of course more than welcome.
