Bug#1088225: debian-installer: automatic partitioning does not allow for hibernation
Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installing Debian using automatic partitioning
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Used default automatic partitioning when installing Debian
* What was the outcome of this action?
Resulting swap space is insufficient to support hibernation
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected for d-i automatic partitioning to reserve enough swap space
to support hibernation. Kernel documentation at
https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.html#hibernation
suggests that default hibernation image size is 2/5 of installed RAM
so most users installing Debian using automatic partitioning will not
be able to hibernate their machine.
