I have run again the Ubuntu 17.04 installer on a virtual machine, with the
"encrypted home folder" option.
I confirm that in such case even the unencrypted swap is not activated after
boot.
In particular:
- at boot, the system hangs a couple of minutes telling that "a start
job is running for dev-mapper-cryptswap1.device"
- when I finally manage to login, I see that no swap is activated:
