I think you need NOFLUSHD http://noflushd.sourceforge.net/
It's also available as a Debian package (but only in testing and unstable).
BTW, try the debian-laptop list if you haven't already. There you'll probably
find people who actually know about laptop installs, instead of folks like me
who've only heard that you need NOFLUSHD.
Another source of info is http://www.linux-laptop.net/
