I've reproduced the behavior of partman-basicfilesystems not preserving UUIDs of swap partitions on the livecd for hardy 8.04.2, and can confirm that the version of partman-basicfilesystems in -proposed and used on the hardy daily livecd (build 20090622.1) maintains the UUID of the swap partition correctly. I've also verified that installations where the swap UUID doesn't need to be preserved continue to work. Marking verification-done.
