Public bug reported:

I have seen mentions on the Ubuntu developer blog via Phoronix that
Canonical are working on ZFS root support for Ubiquity?

I wrote a ZFS installer for Arch ( https://github.com/danboid/ALEZ ) and
one of its main features is that it configures your pool so as to enable
the creation of boot environments using zedenv. I am pre-emptively
opening this feature request to request that the Ubiquity create its
pool and datasets in a very similar way as ALEZ (see its code on github)
so that Ubuntu users will be able to use zedenv to create and manage
boot envs.

Thanks!
