Earlier we had to revert the CentOS 7 zfs-release RPM to point to the older `zfs-release.el8_6` RPM, since the newer universal RPM was encoded with zstd compression (which CentOS 7 didn't support). Since then, we've rebuilt the universal RPM with gzip, so we can use it again.
The source package is zfs-linux, not zfsutils-linux. I had this wrong
in the fix for #314.

We stick to two rules here:
* -o options come before -O
* pool-specific options are wedged in between -o and
-O (e.g. compatibility=grub2)
I don't know if that was a deliberate policy, I'm just trying to guess
what the pattern was

This regroups the options passed to zpool create in a more logical
way.
1. the ACL/xattr/dnodesize settings are all on one line, since they
are all related (latter being optimizations because we enable the
former)
2. ashift, autotrim, compression, normalization, relatime are all
independent options that merit their own line for better
visibility, they are also optional and therefore it makes sense to
have them separate
3. canmount, mountpoint and -R are all related as well
This is only a "whitespace" fix: there should be no functional change
to this patch.
I also noted that dnodesize=auto is *not* passed to the bpool cache
creation, even though it's passed to the rpool creation. I suspect
that might be an omission. This also goes to show that ordering those
options consistently makes it easier to spot those errors.
This is a followup to #307.

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.

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.
