You can find out who commited what in the Debian package by looking in
the package maintenance git repository available from
<URL: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-zfsonlinux/zfs.git >.

There is also the pkg-zfsonlinux-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org mailing
list and the #debian-zfs IRC channel on irc.debian.org.  I believe we
would all be very happy to see more people there.  This is where the
package maintenance is being coordinated and discussed in Debian.

As far as I can see from the git repository, there was no 'change',
there was an 'addition', where to fix BTS report #848157 a file was
added to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/.

Title:
  ZFS initramfs mounts dataset explicitly set not to be mounted, causing
  boot process to fail

Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Per https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/issues/221: the initramfs
  zfs script might overrule canmount and mountpoint options for a
  dataset, causing other mount operations and with them the boot process
  to fail.

  Experienced this with Ubuntu Zesty. Xenial seems to ship with a
  different zfs script for the initrd.

  Work around when it happens: unmount the dataset that should not be
  mounted, and exit the initramfs rescue prompt to resume booting.
