Good work. The package works really fine here.
Upstream's choice to name the binary "suspend" is not really good,
because it's also a bash builtin and although I admit that renaming the
binary to "s2disk" makes it more consistent with s2ram and looks quite
sane, you have to consider that this might cause potential problems.
3rd party scripts might look for a binary "suspend" and wouldn't find it
on Debian (as long as they are not adapted for Debian), or the term
"suspend" might be scattered around in the documentation (--help, man
page [I know this is not the case yet, because upstream does not yet
ship its own manpage], web site, tutorial etc.), which means a lot of
work for you to discover all these spots and change them.
Maybe it's better to leave the name as it is and only provide a
convience symlink (s2disk->suspend) or convince upstream to choose a
better name.
In the end, it's your decision. I just want to raise this concern in
advance.

Cheers,
Michael
