The Debian installer reformats an existing swap, which means it
gets a new UUID, unless you go out of your way to prevent it from
doing so.


I wish to go out of my way, so to speak.
Can you point me to "the road less traveled"?
My environment is a laptop dedicated to installing various configurations of Jessie. It is extremely annoying that only the last installed {and *most likely* to be removed} boots promptly - the other installs having problems with finding an invalid UUID. I gets worse as I occasionally install a system and its intended swap partition to a flash drive - effectively clobbering all installs on the laptop.
