If anyone's interested:
I finally solved the problem -- I was still using initrd-tools instead
of initramfs-tools. I consider myself lucky finding that information
somewhere online. So I re-installed the linux-image package with
initramfs-tools after attempting to update-initramfs which failed.
Everything works now, but I still have trouble with gnome-power-manager
telling me that suspend failed after a successful resume.
Some things are still broken and GPM does not offer all options in their
properties dialog (which is most annoying), but suspend-to-disk and
resume finally works!

André
