Thank you; actually, as noted in yet another recursive response, in my
particular case it was /dev/mapper/*cryptswap1* ..., corresponding to
the 'name' in /etc/crypttab (Nicolas Georges told me as much (to use
the 'name' in crypttab in my /etc/fstab entry), but I didn't grok right
away what was 'name' and what was not 'name' in that file.
Maybe an encrypted swap is overkill in a home alone machine; I am now
idly wondering whether there exists any documented (and successful) remote
unencrypted swap attacks. Then again, as they say here, encrypting your
swap "ça ne mange pas de pain," except for the bug (and the fact that
the tutorial I followed to encrypt my home directory never said anything
about changing /etc/fstab following swap encryption--or maybe I missed it).
