It is possible that one path through the installer sets up the manually
created swap partition sooner, or differently, than the path that
automatically partitions the whole disk.
Second, if you are sure "it makes no difference whatsoever", why would
you choose the manual partitioning way -- it needs more time and more
mouse clicks, for what you say is "no difference whatsoever"?!

I'm not insisting on anything. But this aspect of the test surprised
me, because it's not the kind of "default install the way a newcomer
will do an install" that was the overall intent of this testing.
Don't lose sleep doing Lubuntu testing :)
