Can't close it until someone says it is fixed, but as far as I can see
it is not. Thank you very much for reporting this bug.

Title:
  Installer does not warn about partitions too small

Status in “partman-basicfilesystems” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On my second try of installing Breezy Preview (also see bug 21549), I prepared
  my drive to look like the following:

  /dev/hda1: 40 GB installation of Hoary
  /dev/hda2: 2.4 GB unpartitioned space

  The installer decided to devide the 2.4 GB into

  /dev/hda2: 2.27 GB installation of Breezy
  /dev/hda3 + /dev/hda5: 0,13 GB Swap

  The installer did NOT warn me that the swap partition would be too small to use
  for Hibernation (I've got 1.2 GB of RAM).

  I decided to do the partitioning myself and reserved 1.2 GB for Breezy, 1.2 GB
  for Swap, not knowing that 1.2 GB are to small for even the basic Breezy
  installation.

  Again, the installer did NOT warn me that the Breezy partition would be to small
  to install, let alone do some serious work on it.
