A recipe specific for server installations, which limits the swap to let's
say 1G or 2G, because the machine has enough RAM built-in.
The other (already existing) recipes could be focused on desktops/laptops,
which use something like Swap=RAM, to allow hibernation.
Having such concept, would probably allow to get rid of the partman-auto/cap-ram
thingy, which solved one problem by creating a new one...
