just to answer my own question; I did this:
dpkg -L kernel-patch-suspend2 | xargs grep -i "no applicable suspend2\
patch found for this kernel"
which gave me the relevant lines, which were swiftly modified. It was
in the main patch file, which could be found in various places, mosti
mportantly:
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.11/apply/suspend2
presumably one could try to use the patch on 2.6.12 as well, now that
it's out.
