Yes, exactly.  It's all described in the companion piece to install-on-zfs:

  http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/articles/zfs-update-management/

However, that page is in need of an update: I modified the manageBE
script to automate a lot of the actions described there, and I've been
intending to look at Bryan Drewery's beadm program as well.

Hmmm.... yes.  Fixed, thank you.
