However, I believe, hibernating will use the swap partition, so I think, it 
might be a good idea, to create a swap partition twice as big as the memory, 
if you want to use it.

Of course you can use any other partition for hibernating, but for myself I 
used an encrypted swap partition for hibernation in earlier times.

A bigger swap partition will not harm your system, as modern harddrives are 
much, much bigger than memory (normally!), most systems are using 16GB or 
32GB, not many 64GB (and some 128GB and more) as RAM, but compared to 1TB , 
16GB or even 32GB is rather small. 

Maybe some people like me (I personally am using old stuff with debian) are 
just using 250GB harddrives, but we are only some dinosaurs to be left. 

Normally are 500GB ore higher capacities, so a swap drive does not harm.

Just my opinion....
