+               <description>&lt;p&gt;Just for fun I had a look at the popcon number of ZFS related
+packages in Debian, and was quite surprised with what I found.  I use
+ZFS myself at home, but did not really expect many others to do so.
+But I might be wrong.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;According to
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=spl-linux&quot;&gt;the popcon
+results for spl-linux&lt;/a&gt;, there are 1019 Debian installations, or
+0.53% of the population, with the package installed.  As far as I know
+the only use of the spl-linux package is as a support library for ZFS
+on Linux, so I use it here as proxy for measuring the number of ZFS
+installation on Linux in Debian.  In the kFreeBSD variant of Debian
+the ZFS feature is already available, and there
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=zfsutils&quot;&gt;the popcon
+results for zfsutils&lt;/a&gt; show 1625 Debian installations or 0.84% of
+the population.  So I guess I am not alone in using ZFS on Debian.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But even though the Debian project leader Lucas Nussbaum
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/04/msg00006.html&quot;&gt;announced
+in April 2015&lt;/a&gt; that the legal obstacles blocking ZFS on Debian were
+cleared, the package is still not in Debian.  The package is again in
+the NEW queue.  Several uploads have been rejected so far because the
+debian/copyright file was incomplete or wrong, but there is no reason
+to give up.  The current status can be seen on
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-zfsonlinux-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;the
+team status page&lt;/a&gt;, and
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-zfsonlinux/zfs.git&quot;&gt;the
+source code&lt;/a&gt; is available on Alioth.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As I want ZFS to be included in next version of Debian to make sure
+my home server can function in the future using only official Debian
+packages, and the current blocker is to get he debian/copyright file
+accepted by the FTP masters in Debian, I decided a while back to try
+to help out the team.  This was the background for my blog post about
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Creating__updating_and_checking_debian_copyright_semi_automatically.html&quot;&gt;creating,
+updating and checking debian/copyright semi-automatically&lt;/a&gt;, and I
+used the techniques I explored there to try to find any errors in the
+copyright file.  It is not very easy to check every one of the around
+2000 files in the source package, but I hope we this time got it
+right.  If you want to help out, check out the git source and try to
+find missing entries in the debian/copyright file.&lt;/p&gt;
