According to the apt_preferences man page, we should be able to use
"Package: src:zfsutils-linux". Then we don't have to worry about keeping
the list of packages up-to-date, especially as library soversions change.

This doesn't work on Debian Bullseye. While I tested the actual
create command on unstable, I know I looked at a file list on
packages.debian.org. I must have looked at bullseye-backports by
mistake. That's what I get for not testing the whole thing!
This partially reverts commit 7343c2253f.

The major change for Ubuntu is to mark many of these as optional, like
with Debian and the old guides. As I move away from zsys, this will end
up being more like the old way.
This was also discussed in #306 and #307, but this change has
trade-offs. It can reduce the number of datasets created on the
system, but it does so by increasing the complexity to read and follow
the guide.
Then I just harmonized Debian with Ubuntu. Aside from whitespace,
reordering, rewording, the substantive changes were to drop /opt and
add /var/lib/NetworkManager.

Running "zfs set canmount=off rpool/ROOT/debian" causes the root
filesystem to be remounted read-only. I have no idea why, but that's
mostly beside the point.
I have no idea why I added these commands in the first place. The
other guides were not this way. These steps showed up in the initial
add of the Bullseye instructions.

This switch makes tasksel include the "standard system utilities" task.
Unfortunately, it also defaults to installing a desktop environment, so
we need to warn users about that.

The patch has been brought into Ubuntu 20.04.3 and is no longer needed.
I (rlaager) missed making this change to the 22.04 instructions too.

This is the 20.04 version with the following changes:
- s/focal/jammy/
- Drop the Errata section
- The history symlink exists by default, so there is no need to
create it.
- Add a note about being beta instructions.

Ubuntu 16.04 support ended April 2021.
Limited support is available to commercial customers via the Extended
Security Maintenance (ESM) program, but this is only for select
packages. So I think we are safe to drop this.
Use a "note" section for the Root on ZFS note.

/boot/efi is used exclusively to mirror EFI contents to
other disks, as in `cp /boot/efi/EFI /boot/efis/disk{0,1,2}`
As shown in issue #256, this approach causes trouble with
`nixos-generate-config`, which fills filesystem type as 'none'.
This commit fixes this issue by removing /boot/efi mountpoint and
directly copy from '/boot/efis/primary-disk/EFI/'.
