I have the same problem. Plain install of Ubuntu 10.04 server 32 bit.

apt-get install python-software-properties
OK

apt-add-repository ppa:zfs-native/stable
...

The file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zfs-native-stable-precise.list is there then, but I think keys are not setup correctly, I got signing alerts when installing software from that ppa.
