I don't know much about partition types, so I tried to guess what was
needed by googling and reading what I have in my desktop. All I know is
that swap needs to be logical, and the Debian installer automatically
guessed that / and /home should be primary. The ntfs partitions are, of
course, the Vista partitions.

Why is there no reason for that? Anything wrong with setting it primary?
At any rate, there were only about 3 more steps to take during Debian
installation, and although I couldn't read the questions (screen garbled
as described), I just hit RET to accept the defaults. That seemed to get
me through installation, and even installing GRUB to MBR and recognizing
the Vista OS! I can boot into any of them without problems now. It was
hard to find anything related to the problem with uswsusp, but someone
(http://linux.dobeyracing.net/how_to/toshiba_p200_laptop/Linux_on_Toshiba_Satellite_P200.php)
found the problem got solved with kernel 2.6.21 (Debian testing DVD comes
with 2.6.18), so I'm going to try that.
