It might be worth your poking the debian testing/experimental folks about
why they still choose to turn off the memory controller by default. The
previously stated reason was that virtual memory performance was impaired
when it was turned on but left unused. Assuming this is actually true, in
init.d-land that would be a reasonable frequent -- and bad -- outcome. In
systemd-land, I think the merits of that choice are much lower.
There are Debian installations and derivatives which do not use systemd,
or limit its use to a minimum.
