You mean you'd prefer having a guided partitioning option with "No
swap".

I think that it would be utterly complicated and confusing to
users. Guided partitioning is firstly aimed for unskilled users. We
don't want to confuse them with an option that could be considered
"Advanced" setup.

The only possibility I can see would be having two levels of guided
partitioning recipes: standard, offerred during regular
installs (those we already have)....and advanced...with more options
and that could be offerred only when running the expert mode.

Please note that it would require invasive changes in partman-auto and
I doubt we find somebody to implement them.
