Package: partman-auto Version: 41 Severity: normal This report applies to the sarge version, but apparently this is still the case in the unstable version.
When creating the swap partition, partman-auto chooses twice the total memory size. On a modern computer, this is incredibly huge. For a server, this can be of some use, but on a desktop computer this is a waste of space and an annoyance. On a desktop, the only thing that can really make use of such a large swap space is an application becoming mad and hugging all memory - in which case you don't want a too large swap. Please limit the swap size for the desktop scheme. A value like 256 MB sounds reasonable. Regards, -- .''`.
