That would seem a bit too simple. I would imagine the following:
- determine size of swap, at least 64MB, but up to 128MB if disk is >
2GB
- use the rest of the disk for one big fat partition
I find for most end-users on non-server machines, one big fat
partition is the best thing for them.
Is anyone volunteering to code this up? If not, it probably won't
happen.

Yah -- I wish we could include partd in the boot-floppies -- is that
