Use the update-alternatives dpkg facility to allow the ZFS fuse driver and the ZFS native driver to be installed at the same time.

This enhancement would be a preliminary step towards implementing openzfs/zfs#8.

Where do you suggest that the files be located in the filesystem to permit symbolic links to be used to select one over the other in a way that prevents collisions?

Looking at /etc/alternatives, it seems like /sbin/zfs.fuse and /sbin/zfs.linux would be conventional choices for the diversion with /etc/zfs and /var/lib/zfs shared.

It sounds like zfs-fuse development is ending, so implementing this feature may not be worthwhile:
