Asked on IRC, but didn't get a response:

 - What are the changes to Add-support-for-forcing-modules-
installation.patch? That patch already existed, and the debdiff here
completely changes it. A lot of it just seems to be reformatting, but
the diff-of-diff makes it really hard to see what changed and whether
that was intended.

 - This also changes the already existing apport_python3.patch. There's
also an awful amount of noise, but one effective change:

+-    for directory in "$dkms_tree/$1/$2/"${3:-+([0-9]).*}/${4:-*}; do
++    for directory in "$dkms_tree/$1/$2/"${3:-[0-9].*}/${4:-*}; do

  which is adjusting the py3 port for the new
0003-Add_BUILD_DEPENDS_configuration_option.patch. Thus the new patches
in this debdiff need to be applied *before* at least
apport_python3.patch, otherwise the patch dependencies are the wrong way
around.

Have these been submitted upstream anywhere, as they are rather
intrusive? Thanks!

Title:
  [FFE]: dkms: add module build ordering for ZFS on Linux

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Feature Freeze Exception Request:

  build ordering to build ZFS on Linux (ZoL) is required, the motivating
  case is for ordering such as modules such as zfs -> spl

  Without this, we can have incorrect ordering which causes DKMS build
  failures for multiple kernel module projects, such as ZFS (where ZFS
  requires the ZFS support module spl to be built first).

  Pull in fixes from the ZFS on Linux project that enable this ordering
  to DKMS.
