why do you need a sub-package?
if it is not loaded all is fine

today i started using zram on testing and development virtual machines
maybe that it was loaded automatically is already fixed, the first
testing was a realy Rawhide 3.15 kernel and after that i blacklisted it
but for now still keep the "rmmod" before re-load the module

below you have all needed for zram working and i have currently
besides the F20 development-servers a Rawhide VM with 256 MB
RAM and with zram it survives even "yum reinstall \*"
