Colin: This is not what this issue is about.

This issue is about getting the ZFS tools installed by default in server images, with the problem that doing so now would result in zfs-zed running all the time for everyone, regardless of whether they use ZFS or not.

What we want is:
 - Don't load the module by default (as it taints the kernel)
 - Use of ZFS tools should automatically load the kernel module
 - zfs-zed should only start when one or more zpool has been imported

With those done, we'll be able to ship the zfs tools in all Ubuntu installs without negatively affecting users.
