I look at the dh_exec approach and that requires the following : · The package must be using compatibility level 9 or later (see debhelper(7)) · The package will need a build-dependency on dh-exec. · The install file must be marked as executable.
Debian unstable is already at compat "9" v9 also seems to be the recommended mode of operation. reference: https://www.mankier.com/1/dh_install https://www.mankier.com/7/debhelper The other method, would be to rename the utilities during the debian/rules "build" target before you get to the dh_install invocation. I'll have a look at both approaches.

Ideally, this should be fixed and upstreamed to Debian (or to zfslinux upstream) as well.
