If you don't want libvirt pulling in zfs-fuse, then one of the more minimal libvirt packages could be a better install choice. The "libvirt-daemon-driver-storage" package is a meta package bringing in the full set of storage driver deps for libvirt. If you want to fine tune that then "libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-core" lets you get the bare minimal install set, and select individual drivers for extra functionality.
