Oh hi there Jean... reading that debian bug report there was this comment from 2 years ago saying:

Those guys finally realized they cannot put CDDL in the GPL for /sys/fs...

Just wanted to point out in regards to that. ZOL project has been trying to make their cmdline output machine readable. However its only made its way into some newer version(bs) of zfs. Here is the PR for that feature in case it's any help to anybody.

I understand that is not relevant for your specific patch, which you are simply just skipping zfs. And avoiding to try to parse / see. Perhaps instead for others who might come to improve initramfs in future.
