That is a problem in `zfs-snap-manager`, I regret to tell you.
The `runner` module is pending deprecation upstream and will almost
certainly not get bug fixes. See the `python-daemon` ChangeLog entry
for version 2.1.2::
* Raise a warning that the ‘runner’ module is pending deprecation.
This has been an unofficial example module from the beginning, and
it will be removed in a future version.
Any code relying on that example will need to migrate away before that
module is removed from `python-daemon`.

I disagree; the primary purpose of the package (the `daemon` library)
is AFAICT not affected by this behaviour. I am reducing the severity
of this report accordingly.
You may also want to report a bug in `zfs-snap-manager` upstream, to
draw attention to the pending removal of `daemon.runner`.
