And how do you suspend to disk? By pressing a button, running a
script...? You said in your first writing that "(sic) after suspending to
disk during the night and resuming..." you were having problems to
restore, so how did you triggered suspension? :-?

By reading de docs? :-)
/usr/share/doc/uswsusp/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/pm-utils/README

That should be a feature of the "uswsusp" package, but AFAIK, that
package is not installed by default (at least I don't have it in my
system).
Anyway, I agree that the automatic installer should ask the user about
hibernation/suspend tasks and if the user wants to enable such option, it
should adjust the swap space to fit the power savings needs.
