AFAIK there are 2 packages that can be used to hibernate, the 
acpi-support package and the hibernate package (apt-cache search hibernate).

As you do not have /usr/share/doc/hibernate/README.gz file you must be 
using acpi.  As I use the hibernate package I do have a readme for it, I 
suggest you search your system for the docs that support the package you 
have installed, which you failed to mention.  My comment about the docs 
being on your system still apply.

My bad for assuming you were using the hibernate package.  :-(
