Thanks, I'm checking it out right now :) Seems that you can't just
suspend as described in the kernel documentation but need a number of
scripts to do stuff first ...

However, the documentation refers to using Gnome --- which I don't use
--- and the preferred method being suspend to RAM. I don't want to
suspend to RAM: What if the power fails? And why should I have to keep
the RAM powered?

Is there a good documentation about suspend to disk for Debian?

That's what I mean: The kernel should set the default to the available
RAM, if that much swapspace is actually required. I'd think the kernel
devs would have made it so if it was really needed ...
