No it doesn't. Debian installer support for ZFS is only provided
for the kFreeBSD variant. Linux variants of Debian provide
ZFS-FUSE packages. The "ZFS on Linux" project cited above provides
native ZFS support in Linux via kernel module, however due to
licensing incompatibilities binary packages of that module cannot
be legally redistributed. It is thus legally impossible for
Linux distributions to include "ZFS on Linux" packages.
