Would turning the hard dependency into a somewhat softer recommendation be
a possible solution?
Do zfsutils require the module to be actually installed, or would rw access
to /dev/zfs suffice?

Title:
zfs-module depedency selects random kernel package to install
Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
In MAAS (ephemeral environment) or LXD where no kernel package is
currently installed; installing the zfsutils-linux package will pull
in a kernel package from the zfs-modules dependency.
1) # lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Eoan Ermine (development branch)
Release: 19.10
2) n/a
3) zfsutils-linux installed without pulling in a random kernel
4) # apt install --dry-run zfsutils-linux
