Hernando, I found the following information at the paga at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-basicfilesystems . " When
formatting over the top of an existing swap partition, preserve its UUID
to avoid leaving systems that use UUIDs in /etc/fstab without swap." So,
I suspect that even if the existing swap partitions are formated, their
UUIDs will be preserved.

You might also want to look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132762
and it's duplicate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134763 , to see how
formatting your ext3 partitions can cause problems with other instances
that use the UUID of that ext3 partition in their fstab.
