Bug Description
[Impact]
* People building or installing their own custom kernel without the ZFS module built-in were impacted: they were installing zsys and postinst was segfaulting.
[Test Case]
1. Have a custom kernel without the ZFS module built-in
2. Install ZSys: no segfault should be reported.
[Regression Potential]
This is an edge case for some users going out of ubuntu support, but we still make their lives better.
Note that this doesn’t impact people with traditional ext4 system running ubuntu kernel and installing ZSys, as this was already handled.

Didier, what segfaults? Is this zsys issue or a zfsutils issue? If it's a zsys issue perhaps we can tag this so as I'm trying to differentiate between zsys, zfs utils userspace and kernel bugs when triaging these issues.
