what the name of the package is?

Title:
  Unable to install encrypted w/o swap target from host w swap

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I maintain a "system on an SDHC card" for banking and other secure
  usage. The card gets 2 partitions, an unencrypted /boot and a LUKS-
  encypted root. There's no swap since the card size is 16GB, and I need
  as much storage as I can get. The card gets plugged into a 2GB
  netbook, and I'm not heavily multitasking, so I never need to swap.

  To install, I boot the alt-install CD on an existing Ubuntu desktop
  and go through manual partitioning of the card (no LVM of course). The
  installation doesn't complete because at the end, the installer
  complains that swap isn't encrypted. That's true, BUT the swap it's
  inspecting is on the host machine, and has no relevance to when I will
  be booting from the SD card.

  To get around this, I had to go to Windows-only machine to do the
  install. Because there was no swap partition on its HD, everything
  went fine. What I really need is a way to tell the installer to
  totally ignore the host's swap partition when setting up the SDHC
  card.
