Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Logwatch fails to print info for ZFS due to invalid paths to binaries.

  [Test Case]
  With ZFS installed, run logwatch and note the missing ZFS information.

  [Regression Potential]
  Since logwatch filters logs for errors pertinent to administrators,
  standard things to watch out for are undesired changes in this filtering
  behavior, such as flagging or failing to flag issues differently than
  before, other than the specific messages being filtered with this
  change.

  [Discussion]
  In /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/zz-zfs line 54 and 55 are the following.
  my $pathto_zpool = $ENV{'pathto_zpool'} || '/usr/sbin/zpool';
  my $pathto_zfs   = $ENV{'pathto_zfs'}   || '/usr/sbin/zfs';

  In Ubuntu, the zfs utilities are in /sbin, not /usr/sbin. This causes
  logwatch to not print info for ZFS even if you're using it.

  The fix is just to point to /sbin instead. This is what fixed it for
  me.

  my $pathto_zpool = $ENV{'pathto_zpool'} || '/sbin/zpool';
  my $pathto_zfs   = $ENV{'pathto_zfs'}   || '/sbin/zfs';
