Bug#743058: debian-installer: installer blocks expert users if /swap is not doubly encrypted



Quoting John Kennerson (nobody@isis.cpunk.us):

>   The whole disk is hardware encrypted (due to being OPAL), and for
>   compartmental protection, a couple partitions are additionally
>   software encrypted.

.../...

>   Ultimately, the author had to start over, and leave unpartitioned
>   space for a swap, but not create a swap at all.  Then after
>   installation, a swap partition had to be created manually.

Well, we would very happily appreciate patches from the author in
order to implement an optional encryption of the swap device (of
course optionnally).

As a cherry on top of this cake, we would also be very happy to
understand why a non crypted swap device on an hardware-encrypted disk
is good enough while it is not for other partitions.
