Control: retitle -1 util-linux: upstream tools not installed: zramctl Control: tags -1 + wontfix
Hello! Since 2.27~rc1-1 (available in experimental currently) the lslogins utility is now shipped. The setpriv utility already is discussed in a separate bug report, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=755885 I'm thus retitling this bug report to just talk about zramctl. I've investigated the zramctl utility and it seems to only be useful if the zram kernel module is loaded. This kernel module is stuck in the staging area of the kernel and thus needs cleanup or it might not even be part of future kernel releases. Furthermore it seems the module is not enabled in Debian kernels. (I haven't even found a wishlist report for enabling it, but I might just not have looked hard enough.) As the zramctl utility doesn't seem generally useful to the general Debian userbase in combination with having to be very careful for what you introduce in an essential package like those built from src:util-linux as they have to be supported basically for all eternity, I can't support shipping the zramctl utility at this point. I'm thus tagging this bug as wontfix. If my analysis of zramctl is flawed, please enlighten me (and this bug report) about it. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
