i dont think it is arch specific at all. instead of just using it on
images where we know in advance that it is needed, zram-config should be
in the ship seed and get installed automatically if we detect we are
below a certain memory threshold (casper already kind of does something
similar for the live session). adam and i are discussing that since
several UDSes, i guess one of us should just go forward and implement
it ;)
