I use systemd-cryptsetup to setup an encrypted swap with random password on each reboot. The default systemd boot depdendency chain apparently is to start systemd-oomd at the same point. This makes systemd-oomd complain about scarce memory. It would thus be desirable to only launch systemd-oomd after systemd-cryptsetup.

Thanks!

To be precise, systemd-oom.service should run After swap.target to succeed.
