Title:
  [ZFS] zfs-utils missing during server install

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Xenial server installation iso (at least as of 2016-02-22) doesn't
  contain the zfs-utils package, so the user can't prepare his/her disks
  manually for ZFS during installation.

  While installing ZFS may not be something to be done through the
  installer allowing an (advanced) user the option to pop to a console
  and configure ZFS nonetheless seems like a good idea (for example as
  it will allow installing root on ZFS, see e.g.
  https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-
  Ubuntu-16.04-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root-Filesystem).

  Currently I do see a btrfs-tools udeb package in /pool/main on the
  iso, but no zfs-utils package.

  As a side note, the zfs kernel module is included in the iso (see
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/linux/+bug/1509881),
  so running modprobe zfs works, a parted udeb is available, so we're
  more than halfway there ;-).
