** Description changed:
[Impact]
The zfs utilities scripts shipped with debian and ubuntu such as :
* arc_summary.py : Provides a summary of the statistics
* arcstat.py : Print out ZFS ARC Statistics exported via kstat(1)
* dbufstat.py : Print out statistics for all cached dmu buffers
should be renamed according to Policy 10.4 :
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-scripts
"When scripts are installed into a directory in the system PATH, the
script name should not include an extension such as .sh or .pl that
denotes the scripting language currently used to implement it."
-
- Ideally, this should be fixed and upstreamed to Debian (or to zfslinux
upstream) as well.

[Test Case]
* Install zfsutils-linux
* List files
$ dpkg -L zfsutils-linux | egrep "arc|dbufstat"
/usr/sbin/arc_summary.py
/usr/sbin/arcstat.py
/usr/sbin/dbufstat.py
[Regression Potential]
* none expected, this is a trivial change that simply rename the
scripts to remove the extension (.py) with a simple 'mv' before the
dh_install invocation in order to get this expected result :
$ dpkg -L zfsutils-linux | egrep -i "arc|dbuf"
/usr/sbin/arc_summary
/usr/sbin/arcstat
/usr/sbin/dbufstat
