Hi Georgios,

I don't know if this can be helpful for you or other people here, but
I usually create my centos/ubuntu images with virt-inst from kickstart
or preseed using a script.

Script and related kickstart is available at
https://github.com/gc3-uzh-ch/openstack-tools
they are mainly for internal use, so you may need to modify the
kickstart (we always provides images with the 'gc3-user' user so we
need to modify the configuration of cloud-init.

We partition our disks with one single partition. The script doesn't
yet take into account the extra swap partition though, we don't have
swap in our flavors.
