It has such cheerful effects as:
root@knuth> zpool status
The ZFS modules are not loaded.
Try running '/sbin/modprobe zfs' as root to load them.
The symptom displays via several ways like this:
------------------------------
Deleting module version: 0.6.5.11
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.
Unpacking zfs-dkms (0.6.5.11-1) over (0.6.5.11-1) ...
Setting up zfs-dkms (0.6.5.11-1) ...
Loading new zfs-0.6.5.11 DKMS files...

So what are we supposed to do? The system is up, network accessible,
and I'm pulling a current in time backup. Is there a linux distro that
isn't broken for zfsonlinux distro kernel updates? Otherwise a complete
reinstall back to the dumb world of ext4, as I need a metal 8 core box
for comparative testing.
If you want to debug ZOL and/or Linux, then build from source.
If you want to use ZOL on Debian, use a supported Debian version and
supported ZOL binary packages:
https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Debian
Installation
For Debian Stretch, ZFS packages are included in contrib repository.
For Debian Jessie, ZFS packages are provided by backports.
Install kernel headers:
# apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Install zfs packages:
# apt-get install zfs-dkms
If you want to boot from ZFS, you'll need zfs-initramfs package too:
# apt-get install zfs-initramfs
