Public bug reported:
In the past LTSP used compcache as a way to compress RAM to get swap.
That feature was dropped from the kernel some releases ago and replaced by zram.
zram-config is the easiest way to configure zram at boot time.
The package itself is just a single upstart job configuring zram.
There's no binary, daemon or even config files in that package besides that
single upstart job.
Bug wise, there are quite a few install failures caused by zram trying
to start at installation time, these might be caused by the kernel
failing to load the module or by using a custom kernel lacking zram
support, we're not expecting any such issue with LTSP as the LTSP chroot
is pretty much identical for all our users.
However, if these bugs are a concern, I'm happy to patch the current
zram-config job to better deal with errors (call "stop" when it's unable
to configure the service, instead of just failing).
** Affects: zram-config (Ubuntu)
