You don't really need to build a new package for this. You can also just
create the file manually from a shell after the base system installation
is done.
I think the attached patch will do the job as the final solution. It is a
bit heavier than strictly needed because of some backwards compatibility
support (that needs to be cleaned up after Etch).
If you'd like to quickly test the principle after using the installer,
try manually adding (using nano) the following (simplified) code in:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-installer.postinst
It should be added just after the resume partition is configured.
