I'm pretty sure it's mandatory. I recently got bitten by this bug while installing on a system with 512 MB of RAM because the drive that was to contain the swap partition (really the crash dump partition as far as I'm concerned) wasn't installed yet. I ended up not using sysinstall to do the install after all, due to other problems that were made worse by a committer who broke some of the boot code and refused to revert the changes for a number of days.
