+Description: zfs-initramfs currently provides extraneous, undesired symlinks to
+  devices directly underneath /dev/ to satisfy zpool's historical output of
+  unqualified device names. By including this environment variable to signal
+  our intent to zpool, zfs-linux packages can drop the symlink behavior when
+  updating to its upstream or backported output behavior.
