One option is documenting it in a README.Debian.

I don't think this is a good idea. Also modprobe only works until a
reboot. Also -r is "unload".

This can work, and I see a lot of packages in Debian already doing this,
but is loading the zram module enough for you or do you also need some
configuration for it?
