partman-auto (93ubuntu20) precise; urgency=low

  * Reuse existing swap partitions and EFI System Partitions, if any, rather
    than creating new ones (LP: #311299).
  * Update Ubuntu-specific translations from Launchpad.

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

Status in “partman-auto” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

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
