Severity: minor
The way partman-auto decides the swap size is quit puzzling.
I've read the recipes, and I understand the algorithm, but yet, I was
taught since my first GNU/Linux days that sawp size is related to memory
size, and partman-auto is deciding only upon hard drive size.
It's really weird when you have a big harddrive, but not so much memory
(this happened to me yesterday. I had only 64Mb RAM, and partman-auto
suggested something like 400Mb Swap, for a 10Gb hard drive).
You may argue that it's not a common environment, but I think it's not
so uncommon either, and it's really not nice that the value is so much
outside a valid range.
I think it would be nicer if the parameters for swap size could be taken
=66rom the memory size, the minimum being the memory size, and the maximum
the double of the memory size... Or something like that.
I hope you can have a look at it.

.
* Anton Zinoviev
- second try: closes: #261244
- raise the maximal size for / in multi_user recipes (150->280MB).
Thanks to Chris Walker, closes: #248278.
- resipes.sh (setup_partition): allow creation of subdirectories in
the partition directories.
- add "noatime" mount option in the atomic and home recipes. Thanks
to Ryan Underwood, closes: #265295
- add mount options in the multi_user recipes:
"nodev" and "noexec" for /boot,
"nodev" for /usr,
"nodev", "noexec", "usrquota" and "grpquota" for /var,
"nodev", "nosuid", "usrquota" and "grpquota" for /tmp,
"nodev", "nosuid", "usrquota" and "grpquota" for /home
- move the swap between / and /home in the home recipes; reorder the
partitions in the multi_user recipe so that swap is in the middle and
the most often accessible partitions are around it:
(/boot), /, /usr, /var, swap, /tmp, /home.
- templates: rename the recipes:
home: Desktop machine
multi_user: Multi-user workstation
Thanks to Margarita Manterola, closes: #251414
- limit the maximum size of the swap to 3 times the available RAM but
not less than 64 MB. Thanks to Margarita Manterola, closes: #254935
