debian upstream did this in 2021, but I overlooked that back then[0].

-Description: Solaris Porting Layer user-space utilities for Linux (dummy)
- The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides
- many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to
- run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal
- modification. The Solaris Porting LAyer Tests (SPLAT) is a Linux kernel
- module which provides a testing harness for the SPL module.
- .
- SPL can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Illumos
- (or any other OpenSolaris fork) development closely and don't want the
- overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives
- to Linux primitives.
- .
- This is a transitional dummy package. It can safely be removed.
