Public bug reported: The name is "zram-config". And it is not quite correct. The package doesn't configure the zram kernel module. It actually defines/creates/configures/manages zram based swap. The core benefit/"business value"/outcome is(are) swap(s). That's why this word ("swap") should be a part of the package name. I propose the name "zram- swap" (this name is free right now).
Now about the description. It is "Upstart job to enable zram support". Same thing as I mentioned above regarding the name. It doesn't "enable support". The zram is there by default. I propose to change it to something like "Upstart job that manages zram based swap(s)". Obviously this is not a big issue. But it is really misleading. I have seen a lot of statements where people are simply unable to distinguish between zram and swap. Lets not spread misleading information. At least here. Lets bring some light of knowledge. :) ** Affects: zram-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: description name ** Description changed: - The name is "zram-config".
