Reading through the bug report it looks a lot like someone got their
maths wrong. I mean using a few billion % of memory and uptimes well
over two centuries ...

Just ran `apt search oomd` on a Daedalus machine. It's there alright,
both oomd and systemd-oomd. Both are installable (based on an `apt
install --dry-run` of either) but nothing seems to reverse depend on it.
BTW, systemd-oomd does not depend on oomd ...
