Title:
  Calamares automatically creates swapfile with manual partitioning
  without any warning

Status in Calamares:
  Unknown
Status in calamares package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in calamares-settings-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In Calamares, when doing Manual Partitioning, there is no option to
  choose whether or not to create a swapfile as there is with the Erase
  Disk option. Instead, one would need to create it outside of the
  installer. However, a swapfile is created nonetheless. This is neither
  indicated in the Partitions panel, nor in the Summary panel, as one
  would expect.

  This appears to be caused by the `initialSwapChoice` value in
  /etc/calamares/modules/partition.conf which is set to `file`. Changing
  it to `none` eliminates the issue.

  So there are two things that need to be fixed here:
   1. Calamares itself needs a change, including one or more of:
      1. Provide an option in Manual Partitioning to choose swapfile options
      2. Show the creation of swapfiles in the Summary panel
      3. Don't consider the value of `initialSwapChoice` when doing Manual Partitioning
   2. calamares-settings-ubuntu should change the value of `initialSwapChoice` to `none`, at least while these bugs in Calamares exist
