Public bug reported:

When trying to build the most recent ZFS packages from source (currently
0.8.1-1ubuntu7) I found out that the build dependencies in
debian/control:10 [1] don't line up with ZoL's. (see also [2])

In short:
* libattr1-dev is not a dependency any more
* libselinux1-dev is not a dependency any more
* libudev-dev is a *required* dependency according to ZoL, but the packages 
build without it. o.O
* libaio-dev is an "optional"? dependency for zfs-test (it builds without, but 
the build system picks it up when present)
* libelf-dev is mentioned as a dependency but I have doubts. Comparing builds 
with and without it being present produce identical packages (compared with 
diffoscope)
* shouldn't it have an explicit build dependency on linux-headers-*?

I hope this helps. :)


Note: I used the eoan source branch but built on disco.
