<<Yes, I am surprised no-one has even triaged this.>>

Rick S and I have talked a lot today... trying to remember:

I added a repo on my GitHub on: Open-ZFS-Admin > "How To Uninstall
package 'zfs-dkms' And Survive"

We had to remember:

- Why we actually started using it.

Ubuntu, in the past, did not rebuild the zfs module, so we needed zfs-
dkms so that when kernels were updated, that the 'zfs' modules were
built for the new kernel...

- If it is actually needed anymore

Not for normal users... I will explain that. I think sometime around
22.04.x, canonical started adding the zfs-modules in-kernel. Confirmed
that, if you install Ubuntu 22.04.3 as ZFS-On_Root, and do updates, zfs-
dkms is not an installed package, and the 'zfs' modules are built during
a kernel update. So it is not actually needed any longer by normal
users.

- Why Rick S (1fallen) and I still need to use package 'zfs-dkms', if it
is not required as a default package anymore...

We do DEV testing and ZFS version (zfs-linux) testng/validations... We
need it becaseu we often install and use kernels from the Ubuntu
mainline repo. Which does not have the added Ubuntu mod's and additions.
That, and (I hate to say this) sometimes Canonical forgets to add
things, and has regression issues.

This package has save our behinds sometimes.

I am embarrassed at Launchpad's participation with this. i will take the
baton and help them with that.


When I get that done, and Rick and i get that tested, i will publish the link 
to that here.
When I get those instructions
