Please use /etc/modules which works everywhere instead of some NIH. On the other hand, if you're doing a runtime check, please make sure you accept built-in modules, eg by checking -d /sys/module/zswap rather than /proc/modules.

How to load a kernel module when packaging?
Hey, I'm packaging a package. This package requires the kernel to load the zram module to use it. How can I implement it? The way I can think of is to use "modporbe -r zram" in postinst to load the module during installation, or add a module-load.d conf file >[1] https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/systemd/modules-load.d.5.en.html or is there any other recommended way? Thanks, Clay Stan
