Bug Description
[Impact]
* People using some non English locale, zram devices are not loaded
* The service fails to stop and unloading zram module as well
[Test Case]
* Install the new zram-config package
* Reboot and check that the zram devices are created:
$ swapon -s
-> returns some zram devices
* $ sudo systemctl status -l zram-config.service
-> no error
* Stop the service:
$ sudo systemctl stop zram-config.service
* $ sudo systemctl status -l zram-config.service
-> no error
* swapon -s
-> no more zram device listed
[Regression Potential]
* Services loading change may impact English-local user. However, the fix has already been confirmed to be working on wily.
* Stopping the service was already failing on unloading the module, so no additional regression is possible there.
-------
The zram-config package install works without errors, but at swapon -s, no zram devices are listed.
