All I did was replace the zfs bit in lx_install with

mkdir -p $ZONEPATH/root
cd $ZONEPATH/root
gtar xf $ZFS_SEED

and it works perfectly.

Whether it makes sense to overload the -s flag, probably not.
I think I would use different flags - one for a zfs stream, one for a
tarball,
other ones for downloading the images perhaps. I'm not at all sure you
want to be sniffing the file type and making guesses.
