This is was found originally on Noble, Xubuntu, 231209.
I used Noble, daily, 20231210 -- installed twice,with two different slight variations.
Fist was Other / Manual, using existing partitions, no re-format. Second was on newly created partitions from unallocated space.
Both resulted in not creating a swap file:

The third test-case, I installed with an existing swap partition, which it did recognize that it existed, and the installer used it as a swap partition... So this issue seems to be localized to not creating a swap file, if an existing swap partition does not exist...
