Ah, I didn't realise that -- with only one version of the zfsutils package in Wheezy, 8.3, the Break for kfreebsd <= 8.2 wouldn't leave an installable zfsutils for anyone using those kernels. I guess this could only work if there were separate packages available in Wheezy at the same time, e.g.: zfsutils-15, Provides: zfsutils but Breaks: kfreebsd <= 8.2 zfsutils-28, Provides: zfsutils > Maybe it can, but the ABI incompatibility is probably a much deeper > problem than just ZVOL support. I was just thinking of the installer here. zfsutils 8.3 seems successful at creating a new ZFS pool and volume within d-i using kfreebsd-8. For partman to see the volumes, I only needed to install zfsutils 8.2 to run 'zfs volinit' and 'zfs volfini' at the right moments. I then ran into a new issue -- grub-probe (from 1.99-14) couldn't detect a filesystem type for /. grub-probe from 1.99-13 worked. Also, I notice zfsutils 8.2 is gone from the businesscard installer image since yesterday, but its libraries are still there.
