Adding a ppa introduces one more point of trust. That makes it not an easy option.

  With the current licence (CDDL) it is not going to be included in the repositories of main distros anyway.

    I don't think it has much to do with the license, CDDL is based on Mozilla Public License after all (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Development_and_Distribution_License https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Development_and_Distrib...). The license being different to the kernel prevents distribution of kernel images with inbuilt ZFS support, but this can be worked around by installing it later, just as they already do with proprietary GPU drivers.

    It's actually being integrated in Debian. (right now it's in the NEW queue, ie it's under final copyright review). See this bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686447 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686447
