60x speed-up of Linux “perf”

Debian could provide a tool which builds it for you, on your system, right? The resulting binary would not be redistributable but you could use it.

I've often wondered why more linux distros don't provide a similar tool to build ZFS into the kernel for you.

Debian nicely offers this with the zfs-dkms package.

Ubuntu just bundles ZFS into the kernel statically - not even as a loadable module - and damn the licensing implications(!).

So this means the distributor can fix this by building this package locally and use the result to link other binaries to? This isn’t uncommon right?
