First, thanks to Johan.Grönqvist for the info about the "stat" command,
which was new to me.
Second, as to to the inability for the lenny startup process to stat
resume device file /dev/mapper/sda8_crypt, Johan had the following to say:

This device file in fact does exist. I am able as route to stat it
successfully; consequently I cannot understand why the start-up process
cannot stat it.
As for the package uswususp, it is not installed in my in my Lenovo R61
Thinkpad. Further, it is not a package which Lenny knows about.
While after on each boot receiving the message quoted at the beginning
of this post hitting the enter key is not particularly onerous, I am
still wondering why I receive this message. Should I file a bug report
- -- assuming I can figure out how to do so?
