Title:
  Ubiquity 20.04 exports existing ZFS pools

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Ubiquity unmounts everything that could be mounted on the target
  file system when it starts and on tear down. For ZFS it exports all
  the pools.

   * If a user had existing pools, they are exported too.

   * This fix only unmount pool that are used as a target for the
  installation, leaving alone any other pool.

  [Test Case]

   1. Boot a live session
   2. Create a new pool with:
  $ zpool create -R /mnt tpool /dev/vda
   3. Verify that the pool is created with zpool list
   4. Start ubiquity
   5. Quit ubiquity

  => Verify that the pool is still there with zpool list. Without the
  fix, tpool is exported.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Low risk of regression. Worst case, the bug is not fixed and pools
  are still unmounted or none of the pools are exported. This case would
  prevent to do 2 installations in a row from the same live session.

  [Other info]

   * Already shipped in Groovy.

  ===

  For unclear reasons (18.04 didn't have this issue), Ubiquity on 20.04
  exports existing ZFS pools, (very) shortly after execution.

  To repeat (assumes a `/dev/sda` disk):

  - start a 20.04 Ubuntu Desktop live media
  - open a terminal
  - create a zfs pool: `zpool create test /dev/sda`
  - verify that it's been created: `zpool list`
  - launch ubiquity: `ubiquity`
  - open a separate terminal
  - list the ZFS pools: `zpool list`

  no pools are now listed.
