During the installation of debian on a new partition
(text, expert mode) I used the existing swap partition
(used also bei ubuntu). The script insisted on newly
formatting the partition, and (as I later found out)
also changed the partition's UUID.
As a result, booting ubuntu was very slow.
Searching the net for help I finally found this article
https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-beaver-slow-boot.html
that pointed me to fstab (on ubuntu) using the original UUID.

I suggest to not reformat an existing formatted swap partition.

I used: firmware-10.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso
