[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1089203: systemd-zram-generator: Removes user configuration on every update

Package: systemd-zram-generator
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

On every update, dpkg moves any custom configuration of 
/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf to 
/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf.dpkg-old, causing it to revert to the 
built-in default config in /lib/systemd/

It also deletes any user override in 
/etc/modules-load.d/20-zram-generator.conf but it's less likely that 
anyone would change that.

Deleting user configuration is probably a serious policy violation, but 
I've set the severity on this bug as "important" as it doesn't render it 
unusable to everyone.


Patch:

    rm debian/systemd-zram-generator.conffiles


For example, my /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf sets up a compressed 
ramdisk and changes the compression algorithm for swap.

[zram0]
compression-algorithm=lz4hc

[zram1]
mount-point = /ram
options = X-mount.mode=1777
compression-algorithm=lz4hc
