I closed this as requested, but I'm actually going to reopen it to see
what people think about the following...

Is there a "default" kernel in Ubuntu? I think there is, probably linux-
generic.

So perhaps this dependency should be changed:
OLD: zfs-modules | zfs-dkms
NEW: linux-generic | zfs-modules | zfs-dkms

That way, if you have something satisfying the zfs-modules dependency,
it is fine. If you don't, it will install the default kernel.

On the other hand, if you don't already have the default kernel, you're
clearly in some sort of special case, so I'm not sure what sane thing
can be done. So that might argue against this.
