ubiquity creates very small swap inside extended partition

[Martin Erik Werner]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When using the "use largest continuous space" option on this setup:

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ c7 Syrinx
/dev/sda2 2551 6375 30720000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 6375 10836 35837098 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 10837 38913 225528502+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 10837 33176 179446018+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 35727 38427 21695751 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 38428 38913 3903763+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris

A surprisingly small swap is created (system has 4GB (~3GB since 32bit) RAM):

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2550 20482843+ c7 Syrinx
/dev/sda2 2551 6375 30720000 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 6375 10836 35837098 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 10837 38913 225528471+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 10837 33176 179446018+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 35727 38427 21695751 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 38428 38913 3903763+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda8 33177 35615 19582976 83 Linux
/dev/sda9 35615 35726 898048 82 Linux swap / Solaris

Ubiquity does give an error message "Unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition."

There is no support on such deprecated version; that one has died long time ago.
