+define Package/earlyoom/description
+  earlyoom checks the amount of available memory and swap at an adaptive
+  rate for up to 10 times per second. When both available memory and swap
+  are below threshold, it'll send SIGTERM or SIGKILL to the process with
+  the highest oom_score. Details about oom_score can be obtained at
+  https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc_pid_oom_score.5.html
