Bug Description

Expected: swap partition to be around 4GB (corresponding to RAM)
Actual: swap partition is around 2.2 GB

I used the "Guided - Entire disk" install option, which for the ubiquity installer creates the swap as the same size as the RAM. Cannot tell yet if this may be GPT-specific, but I will test some other ISOs ...
