So I made a virtual machine put 20GB ram in there and an 8GB drive and
could reproduce the problem.
How can we force partman-auto to not use memory size in its calculation.
Sometimes you can't use partman-auto. Sometimes you have to perform
your own partition management. This doesn't solve your problem, but
does show how an example customized partitioning scheme might be
configured. This scheme does away with a swap partition. More ideas can
be found at

There are many example schemes you can find with a search.

I found out it tries to make swap the same size as memory for suspend,
but how to disable this??
