                  Thanks, Leszek, this was the cleanest work-around. 
                  Disabling the Upstart job means that the zram
                  configurations never run to begin with.  <br>
                  <br>
                  And it doesn't leave anything dubious dangling (like

                  unrecognised disk label').

                          John has zRAM in Raring. It was pulled in by a

                          with that method, so I didn't suggest that
