Google is your friend!  I don't remember exactly what my search terms 
were, but the top item gave me the answer (once I read down through all 
the answers that were less than useful to me, or the OP of that thread).

I have already deleted the uswsusp package, as well as 
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf/resume and 
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf/driver-policy (since they weren't on my system 
before).  I then rebuilt the initrd and rebooted.  All is now good in 
the world, at least as far as my boot and swap problems are concerned.
