Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: util-linux

See also:
- Debian bug-tracker [1]
- mkswap-uuid patched mkswap by the National Venter for High-performance 
Computing (NCHC) Taiwan [2]

Description_
 mkswap can't create a predefined uuid for a new swap partition.
 But mkswap-uuid offered by the drbl project (clonezilla) [2] does!

 I've been told the patch is quite simplistic so it weould be good to
have it in hardy before eature freeze.

Solution:
 patch mkswap as NCHC-TW did.

Affects also:
 This would also be a help for other bugs regarding swap-parition uuids in 
ubuntu.
 #9052626   Routine fsck deactivates swap, changing UUID
 #66637     After running mkswap, swap space is discarded, system fails to 
hibernate (invalid swap signature)
