There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am not too happy with this exact wording. It also seems to contradict with your commit message a little.
To me
ensure the disk has a swap partition
Reads like you need to have a swap partition, not that a swap partition might or will help.
It also can be read as --no-disko-deps requires a swap partition.
