New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/42484#issuecomment-1448281050

Comment:
I am strictly opposed to a package graph that facilitates these kinds of mismatches. Ubuntu has been bitten HARD by shipping different versions of the ZFS kmod and userspace utilities. Because we strive for a first-class ZFS experience in Void, the userspace tools  and DKMS package that we ship should definitely be part of a matched pair.

Just because our package installs the DKMS sources doesn't mean that you have to build them. Void kernel packages will build the kmod automatically, but your kernel workflow can skip the XBPS hooks. 

You can also `noextract` the bits you want. Yes, this gets a bit cumbersome, but our primary goal is to keep the package graph and maintainability simple for official packages, not complicate things for everybody else to support custom, unpackaged content.
