Given that this bug concerns the installer, I can't run apport-collect
(it isn't installed).

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  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 ;-).
+ As a side note, the zfs kernel module is included in the iso (see bug
+ #1509881), so running modprobe zfs works, a parted udeb is available, so
+ we're more than halfway there ;-).
