(Get the code!)
Okay, created 6Gb partition, installed it, updated kernel to 3.0.0-12.19. The bug is still there. System is unusable, Only disabling swap makes it a bit more usable. I've monitored memory/swap status (watch free -m) during entire installation process and I have noticed that buffers+cache were at circa 130 Mb, sometimes getting a bit more or less, but always returned to this value. By the end of installation process swap usage reached 330 Mb.
Also, I've tried setting drop_caches to 3 and swappiness to 10, disabling swap and then enabling it back, with no success. System still prefers keeping cache over 100 Mb, and increasing swap any time it needs more memory.
