commit 5f68c936b777b53bf2f3487c7135a41883b502f2

    Do not start balance, defrag, or scrub without AC power (mains)
    
    Perfect is the enemy of the good, and our ZFS and btrfsd packages have
    set a precedent.  Meanwhile, average laptops will not be able to
    repair any corruption, because they are typically single-disk systems.
    On these systems, the benefit of running a scrub is to chose when to
    potentially detect an unrecoverable corruption.  Furthermore, running
    a scrub on battery power risks a potential unclean shutdown, which is
    itself something which may precipitate data loss.

Standards version of the package is outdated. wishlist
The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy (Standards-Version 4.7.2 instead of 4.6.2).
