** 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
