- high memory systems for desktop machines are rare: most people using desktop 
version of ubuntu have way more disk than RAM.
- it is quite hard for a non-expert user who just wants a secure system with 
encrypted disk and use hibernation to resize lvm partitions: there's no GUI 
tool for it, so he needs to learn to use several lvm command line tools
- although there are good reasons not to enable hibernation by default, it 
should be easy to enable it manually later as it is important for many laptop 
users.
- moreover, installer could be simply detecting if a given system is a 
high-memory one instead of applying strict defaults blindly: swap space could 
be capped for example with min(2*RAM, 0.2*disk)
- if taking into consideration disk size when deciding swap size is too 
difficult for any reason, there could be at least an option in the installer 
*GUI*: dealing with preseeding is also difficult for an average user for whom 
creating a bootable pendrive was already a challenge
