(For ZOL version 0.7 see here)
Getting ZFS for Devuan was more difficult than I had expected, because
Thus I tried to compile from source, and succeeded with the following commands.
This goes the detour of creating deb packages, because installing directly somehow did not work.
Maybe I made a mistake, maybe deb packets are really required, whatever,
I document the method that worked.
This was tested
(for older ZOL versions see this)

Note: linux-headers-$(uname -r) must be re-installed after kernel updates.

You can download the keys here:

But you should verify that their fingerprints are the

(run the commands 'gpg C6AF658B.key' and 'gpg D4598027.key' to display them).

mkdir /scratch
for i in {1..3}; do truncate -s 2G /scratch/$i.img; done
zpool create zpool raidz1 /scratch/{1..3}.img
zpool list
zpool status
zfs list
Looks good so far. Even /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf works (after udevadm trigger, albeit not with the /scratch/images).
First unmount the zfs-filesystems
zfs umount zpool
Then uninstall the old version:
dpkg -r zfs libzfs2 kmod-zfs-$(uname -r) dpkg -r libnvpair1 libuutil1 libzpool2
If you installed a new kernel: reinstall the headers package
aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
Finally recompile and reinstall zfs like above.
Note: if you keep using the same version of zfs: run "make clean" before "./configure".
