But we keep telling you that the debian-installer will do this.  You
keep saying it does not work for you.  We keep asking for details.

Starts at 2048 which is aligned.  Good.

 1919979520/2048=937490.0
  
Starts on an aligned boundary.  Good.

Wait.  Your partition 2 is not swap.  Your data shows partition 5 is
swap.  Your data shows partition 2 is an extended partition.

That isn't swap.  That is your extended partition.  It holds logical
partitions.

Your swap partition is properly aligned for 4k Advanced Format drives.

I think you have been looking at the wrong partition. :-)
