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.
