Package: zfs-dkms
Version: 2.1.11-1~bpo11+1
Severity: grave
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I was updating my system. I was unable to reboot my machine normally after the update.
I was able to get the system booted by manually choosing an older kernel patch level 
in the bootloader, version 21 instead of the latest stable version 23.

Ounce in I tried rebuilding zfs-dkms and it rebuilt but it did not create a kernel 
module for linux-image-5.10-0-23-amd64. It thinks it's missing headers but that's 
not true as linux-image-5.10.0-23-amd64/stable-security,now 5.10.179-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]
says otherwise. zfs-dkms builds fine for version 21.

I expected to update my system in a stable release and have a bootable system in the end. What 
happened instead was I ran apt update, apt upgrade and my system became unbootable.
