That's a good question, but one without an easy answer. From your description
of the issue it sounds like closing the laptop's lid is putting the laptop's
LCD to sleep, then it isn't coming back upon wake. Sometimes this is an issue
with the videocard driver, sometimes it can be an issue with the LCD backlight
driver. To try to figure this out, you might look through one of the X logs
such as /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see which drivers are in use in X. From there
hopefully you can find an appropriate Debian package associated with the
driver that isn't waking correctly, and file a bug against that package.
The tech-ctte doesn't deal with any packages directly -- they deal with
situations where there are competing solutions to technical problems such that
oversight is needed to pick one of the solutions.
