Bug#401175: debian-installer: Could offer to set a label on swap partitions
Package: debian-installer
Severity: minor
The "partition disks" dialog presents an option to set a partition label
if "use as" is set to ext3 filesystem. If "use as" is set to "swap
area" the label field is not included. It is possible to set partition
labels on swap partitions using "mkswap -L". Labels on swap partitions
are useful so that /etc/fstab can refer to the swap partition as
/dev/disk/by-label/swap. I suggest the D.I. allows the user to set a
label for their swap partition, and furthermore offers a default label
of "swap".
