[Bug 1579457] [NEW] ubiquity must NOT format a valid SWAP partition on manual partitioning

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On manual partitioning, ubiquity systematically formats the SWAP
partition, even if this SWAP partition is perfectly valid.

For the SWAP partition, this unnecessary formatting modifies its
filesystem UUID and blanks its filesystem LABEL.

This BREAKS COMPATIBILITY with other distribution(s) installed on the
same machine, whose '/etc/fstab' reference the SWAP partition by UUID or
LABEL.

If fact, ubiquity must NOT format a valid SWAP partition.

This issue is :
-  similar to the 3rd item (left uncorrected) of bug #83166
-  related to bug #533618
