Thanks for that bit. Is there a way that busybox' swapon would include swap priorities in a future update? That way we could omit the swapoff/swapon workaround.

EDIT: There's the mount package, supportingly with priority support for swap.

EDIT2: Said mount package has unmet python dependencies on my device. Bummer.
