Re: No swap for Debian preseed automated installation
That's good news, I didn't see that option in the Debian sample preseed config files. So as you recommended I checked the partman-basicfilesystems package from Ubuntu and found the template which does that. Now added the following to my debian preseed file:
d-i partman-basicfilesystems/no_swap boolean false
and am going to test it right now :)

No tricks involved. Download the partman-basicfilesystems udeb and
search for 'no_swap' in the templates file.
