This patch makes partman-basicfilesystems set the swap flag for ZVOL
(ZFS volume) swap devices instead of adding them to fstab.
There are two reasons why this is preferred:
- FreeBSD systems (or derivatives like Debian GNU/kFreeBSD) installed in
the same computer will automatically identify this as a swap partition,
and may enable it during their boot process if this flag is present.
This makes it easier to share swap between them.
- The flag may already be present. In this situation, setting it again
has no effect, but adding the device to fstab would make the boot
process attempt to enable the same device twice.
