Yeah, there is a fuse-zfs port but it is not anwhere near production ready and the freebsd port is not much closer.
Here is an alternative for you. Nexenta. It is littlerally debian running an opensolaris kernel. I think it may actually be more ubuntu than debian but it definitely brings that good debian feel to the system.

I have no desire to leave Debian, and ZFS to my knowledge is not
production-ready on any non-Solaris platform.
But thanks for the pointer -- I didn't know ZFS did transparent
compression.
