Combine libraries: spl, avl, efi, share, unicode. These libraries, which are an artifact of the ZoL development process, conflict with packages that are already in distribution: * libspl: SPL Programming Language * libavl: AVL for Linux * libefi: GRUB And these libraries are potential conflicts: * libshare: the Linux Mount Manager * libunicode: Perl and Python Recompose these five ZoL components into the four libraries that are conventionally provided by Solaris and FreeBSD systems: + libnvpair + libuutil + libzpool + libzfs This change resolves the name conflict, makes ZoL more compatible with existing software that uses autotools to detect ZFS, and allows pkg-zfs to better reflect the official Debian kFreeBSD packaging.
