Yes, this is correct. The problem is that now, the kernel is moving from
old kernels to new KMS kernels. Probably Rafael can offer more information
about this.

Yes, this is correct. The future of uswsusp is (probably, Rafael, is
correct?):
* For s2ram, delete all function relative to the database (and the
database), and maintain the command. Basically s2ram will do something like
"echo ram > /sys/power/state"
* For s2disk, s2both, maintain their functions, compression, splash, ...,
because they do not use the database.
The problem is what to do with the Debian package now. Continue with the
0.8 version, with 85 bugs (some of them solved in the 0.9 git version) or
don't do nothing now and wait for the next uswsusp (suspend-utils) "1.0"
without database.

Thanks Michael, Rafael.
