As was pointed out, Nigel Cunningham (cc'd) is the upstream author
of the kernel Software Suspend 2 patches - I merely maintain the
website.
Additionally, Cameron Patrick (also Cc'd) is the maintainer of the
hibernate package (in Debian) used for controlling Software Suspend
2 (as well vanilla swsusp and S3). You might wish to coordinate with
him also some set of dependencies/recommendations.

Not yet :) Which version are you intending to package to start with?
IMHO (from hearing many other people's opinion too), the most stable
combination for 2.6.10+ is probably 2.1.5.15 (with an extra patch
for SMP). Since 2.6.9 there have been ACPI issues that have
affected a lot of people's ability to resume (particularly those
with Toshiba laptops) - it's a work-in-progress to track these down.
I've also got a bunch of scripts for /etc/mkinitrd/scripts/ that
automagically create a suitable initrd for modular software suspend
support (they'd need some cleanups for wider use though).
Kind regards,
Bernard.
