thanks

I feel that this is too "dangerous" an option to allow without requiring the user to jump through hoops to configure it themselves.

There is no way this can be safe, and thus no way for it to make sense except for test setups where you don't really care if the encryption is severly weakened.

For such test setups, it is IMO easy enough to install with encrypted swap or without swap at all and just change the swap setup afterwards.

I'm happy to discuss arguments why it does make sense and why we should introduce the option, but for now I just don't see them; hence tagging the bug +wontfix.
