If you're interested in 0.8.0, you can check out [1], which references [2], which is sufficient to build your own (git master) zfs. Notice that spl is merged into zfs, so that massively simplifies packaging. Just download 0.8.0-rc1, copy that debian directory from [2] into the source, update the changelog (dch), and then compile with
debuild -b -us -uc I'm committed to keeping that packaging suited for building both git-master and the 0.8.* release branch. I'd recommend building this yourself instead of waiting for it to get uploaded to experimental, given how little interest there was in this git packaging for the last 6 months [3].
