Bug Description
The name is "zram-config". And it is not quite correct. The package doesn't configure the zram kernel module. It actually defines/
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. :)

And now these day not even is an upstart job. It uses a systemd unit.
I propose use "Bootstrap script that setup a compressed zram based swap"
