Package: zfsutils-linux
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

ZFS relies on mtab which is a broken concept (putting info about mounted file 
systems on a mounted file system).
The upstream commit "79251738" addresses the situation by relying on 
/proc/self/mounts instead. 

Ideally, ZFS should be integrated with libmount in a second phase (ZoL 
maintainers are aware that eventually a 2nd is needed to integrate libmount), 
until then /proc/self/mounts is a viable solution to address issues cause by 
mtab.
