Bug#905793: Why does the Installer formats given swap

[John Landmesser <jmlandmesser@gmx.de>]

Package: debian-installer


is there a reason why the installer defaults to format given swap partition?

I now know that you can opt out to format swap, but i don't understand 
that formatting swap is default!

I had several Linux on same PC and after installing aditional debian, 
the other Linux didn't find their swap anymore because UUID has changed.

I fixed it but i thought: "Debian, that should be a no go, formatting 
given swap"

So i'm curious for the reason for this behaviour!
