Package: earlyoom
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: wishlist

The default settings, even when applying the suggestions, can easily
cause everything in a desktop session to be killed indirectly: I've
repeatedly seen dbus-daemon falling victim to earlyoom, which does
succeed in freeing a lot of memory, but has the side effect of taking
firefox, xfce4-terminal and a bunch of other processes down with it.

I suggest that dbus-daemon be included in the --avoid list offered in
/etc/default/earlyoom, and possibly even be enabled by default.
