One can install zfs just using "sudo apt-get install zfsutils-linux"
without having to specifically install zfs-dkms. However, this is
indeed a bug so it needs fixing.
In fact, this is similar to bug 1536299. The issue is that the dkms
build runs a configure script that test compiles a simple C test program
and this fails because the linker can't link the program because libc-
dev is not yet installed at that point. The fix is to add that as a
dependency and all should be fine.
I've uploaded a fix into ppa:colin-king/zfs-wily-lp1513917, can you test
this out with the following on a clean machine:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/zfs-wily-lp1513917
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install zfs-dkms zfsutils-linux
..and let me know if this resolves the issue for you
