you're getting it both wrong!  I was about to issue a couple of bugreports
regarding the init scripts.  To solve your dispute: swap has to be activated
TWICE ! First activate swap partitions (and do that before fsck and mounting,
systems with 4MB will benefit from it), then fsck and mount the filesystems
and last activate swapping to files and mount loop devices.
