Sujet: [DNG] installer messes up swap partition on multi-boot
On today's install device, I had a pre-existing linux with a swap
partition on the disk, and the partitioner insisted on re-formatting it.
This is BAD. It changes the UUID of the swap partition, which messes up
the other operating systems on the device, because the recent 'best
practice' has been to identify partitions in fstab by UUID.

It significantly slows the boot of those other linuxes, and they lose
their swap, and the sysadmin has to manually fix the fstab.
