[Bug 311299] Re: automatic partitioning does not reuse existing swap / boot partitions

[Colin Watson]

The same goes for EFI and BIOS Boot Partitions, and is basically the
same issue.  Raising to Medium as the underlying infrastructure (in the
form of $reusemethod) now exists, so it may actually be vaguely possible
to fix this soon.

Title:
  automatic partitioning does not reuse existing swap / boot partitions

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  When installing Xubuntu Jaunty 9.04 using daily "jaunty-
  alternate-i386.iso" images, if the selection used during partitioning
  is "Guided-use entire disk", the partition editor will create a new
  /swap partition and not see the existing /swap partition on any other
  disk.  I had a /swap defined on sda7; partition editor never saw the
  partition.

  I expect the existing /swap partition to be used any time I am
  installing (X)Ubuntu.

  Release:  Xubuntu 9.04 dated 12-23-2008
