Apologies if I offended you. I wasn't trying to argue the merits of the FTP team's decision (which I respect and agree with!), or of your opinion about distributing ZFSonLinux binaries. I was just trying to explain the background to my question. I would be very grateful if you (or anybody else with the relevant knowledge) would answer the question I posted: Does Debian distribute a Debian Installer that will (either by default, or at the user's request) install source or binary packages from no repositories other than "main" and "contrib"? If so, is there any reason in principle why that installer could not in future be distributed with the capability to (download and) compile and run ZFS, and to provide the user with the option to install Debian onto a ZFS root partition?
