Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
	Trying to use the package on debian stretch
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	Using commands structured as per "zfs-auto-snapshot --help", unintented or incorrect results occured.
        see https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs-auto-snapshot/issues/111 for an example. The script also generates recursive snapshots of intermediate datasets (e.g. snapshotting s/s0 will also snapshot s/s0/root and s/s0/pfsense) without -r specified
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	unexpected snapshots on unexpected datasets. Many of these bugs appear to have been fixed in newer versions of zfs-auto-snapshot
	but the stretch version is old
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
	the package should have a newer version of the script for stretch, or be pulled as it currently does not function as intended or as documented
