** Description changed:
+ [IMPACT]
+ Installing ZFS on a clean machine that does not have libc-dev installed will
end in a DKMS build failure on the Solaris Porting Layer module.
+
+ [TEST CASE]
+ Do a clean install of Ubuntu Wily server
+ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+ sudo apt-get install zfsutils-linux
+
+ Without the fix, this breaks. With the fix SPL builds OK and ZFS
+ installs.
+
+ [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
+ Minimal, this just adds one dependency in for spl-dkms, and this package will
ultimately get installed later on during the zfsutils-linux installation. This
fix causes it to be installed earlier on during the installation.

On a totally clean server install of Wily installing zfsutils-linux ends
up with a build failure of spl, typically:
Setting up zfs-dkms (0.6.4.2-0ubuntu1.2) ...
Loading new zfs-0.6.4.2 DKMS files...
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 4.2.0-25-generic
Building initial module for 4.2.0-25-generic
configure: error:
- *** Please make sure the kmod spl devel <kernel> package for your
- *** distribution is installed then try again. If that fails you
- *** can specify the location of the spl objects with the
- *** '--with-spl-obj=PATH' option.

The issue is that the configure script in SPL is building a simple test
program but the linking fails because libc-dev is not yet installed even
though gcc is. The libc-dev package gets installed a little while
later.
A fix is to modify spl-linux: debian/control and add in the libc-dev
dependency on spl-dkms to ensure this package is already installed
before SPL runs the test.
Package: spl-dkms
Depends: ${misc:Depends}, libc-dev, dkms (>= 2.2.0.2), file, lsb-release
Recommends: spl
Normally, dkms driver builds just build against the kernel without such
pre-checks, so we don't hit this with normal dkms packages. Note that
this issue does not seem to bite a lot of users probably because libc-
dev is already installed.
