I did it on QEMU/KVM and allocated 8GB.  Still, if default hibernation
image is up to 2/5 of installed RAM a 1GB swap partition could be
insufficient.

I think the algorithm that allocates swap space might need a look.  I
can't prove it because the installation no longer exists but I saw
that same 1GB swap partition about three months ago when installing to
a 240GB external drive on a machine with 8GB RAM.
