This is indeed fixed in 17.04 Zesty onwards. I'll SRU this sometime in
the future for earlier releases

libnvpair.so.1 should be in /lib/, not /usr/lib/

Bug description:
Currently, in Ubuntu 16.04, the package libnvpair1linux puts
libnvpair.so.1 in /usr/lib/, however, tools like zpool and zfs which
are installed in /sbin/ need this library. According to the FHS this
means the required libraries should be in /lib/ in order to allow the
user to install /usr/ on a separate partition that is not immediately
available after boot.
This turns out to be a problem indeed. On one of my systems I had
/usr/ on a ZFS filesystem (and /, /lib/, /sbin/, /bin/ on a separate
ext4 partition). However, the system failed to boot: it hung while
mounting the ZFS partitions which failed because zpool import didn't
work as it couldn't find libnvpair.so.1.
