Comment (by kallisti5):

 >Besides, why the differentiation between automatic mode and the other
 one? If the user sets a certain size, it should be respected, no matter if
 it needs more than 10%.

 The difference is mostly to try and quell any free space shortage
 situations. For having a swap file set that is larger then the free space
 available. Instead of just failing, pull the swap space set back leaving a
 little free space on the disk.

 Although you're right one I think through that... getting into that
 situation would be rough.

 >BTW the warning is printed unconditionally which makes no sense.
 Sigh... good catch.  Will remove that bit.
