I'm unfortunately not going to be able to repair the pool. Since grub-
mkconfig was blocking all apt package installation, I simply added "exit
0" to the top of the script to get things working. But, this was a bad
time to discover my backups weren't working. That's my fault for not
verifying them. I used to have a manually created ZFS root using the ZoL
documentation and replicated that back to a FreeNAS system (FreeBSD
11.3). This time I let Ubuntu create the root and apparently it added
feature flags that FreeBSD doesn't so my replication system ceased
working.

So, it's looking like I'm just going to have to recreate the pool. I
leave it up to you as to whether you want to close this issue out. I do
think it'd be nice if a grub-mkconfig failing didn't get apt into a
state where nothing can be added or removed until grub-mkconfig
successfully runs. It may very well be the case that fixing the pool
requires fetching another software package.
