#1213038 — Bug#1081888: [RFD] Update partman-auto/cap-ram default value to re-allow hibernation

Package: partman-auto
Version: 167
Tags: d-i

Dear maintainers,

The debconf setting partman-auto/cap-ram was introduced to deal with the 
very special case of systems with more RAM than disk space with previous 
recipes setting the minimum (and maximum in most cases) swap size to 
100% of RAM size. On the other hand, the maximum swap size of 1GB caused 
by its default value breaks hibernation in many cases.

partman-auto 167 provides updated recipes with new limits. Swap maximum 
size is now the lower of 100% of RAM size or ~5% or disk space. This 
should be enough to deal with the above special case while allowing 
hibernation on systems with enough disk space.

But partman-auto/cap-ram still gets in the way. I believe it is time to 
update its default value: either disable it completely, or raise it to a 
value which does not prevent hibernation on the majority or systems, 
e.g. 64GB. I hope a consensus can be reached.

I think with these new recipes in place, we should be able
to disable cap-ram completely by default.

Comments/objections?

I created a merge request for this:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-auto/-/merge_requests/20

Tests via the mini.iso built by salsa-CI have shown, that it works as expected
(swap can grow until the size of RAM now).

Noone objected, so I will merge this soon.
Thanks
