Hm, I had no idea. I'm not sure why apt-listbugs didn't howl when I
upgraded to 0.8-1.2, but so far, I haven't been bitten by these bugs -
I guess that I've been lucky.
In any event, when I originally wrote 's2disk', I really meant the
in-kernel suspend-to-disk functionality, which can be invoked in
various other ways.
Moreover, in the most common use case for suspending, where a machine
will be disconnected from its external power source, it's not a great
idea to use suspend-to-ram without a working suspend-to-disk backup,
since if the internal battery drains before the external power source
is reconnected, the system will crash, with possible data loss, etc.
