Package: debian-installer
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Guided partitioning fails with an error that there is not enough space
to install Debian on a 40GB SSD. This is on a system with 128GB RAM.

Finding a larger disk showed that the installer thought 137GB of
swapspace was appropriate for this system.

Manually partitioning in advanced mode allowed me to install but this
default is ridiculous. The guided-partitioning tool should pick saner
values - 8GB or so - or allow for a manual override.
