Updates are quite an issue with this package, because it has the zfs-uitls version hardcoded in its dependencies. (Not sure whether this is necessary or not.)
Well, once upon a time they both built from the same PKGBUILD, thus inconveniencing users who wanted the utils but also a built variant of the module, e.g. zfs-linux...
Given there's no real guarantee from the upstream project that you can use any module version with any utils version, I think it's reasonable to expect them to be somewhat synced... this is not a problem if your AUR helper supports building multiple packages and installing them at the end. Or if you build packages into a custom repo, like aurutils does.
