First, now upgrading to testing or unstable is not going to happen, sorry.

Secondly, I have learnt that some crashes is related to the
presence/absence of an external mouse. When an external mouse is
plugged in during sleep, the internal touchpad entry in
/proc/bus/input/devices is removed. I have stopped using external
mouse completely, which seem to have reduced the number of crashes.

One thing I have been thinking about is to define a serial mouse as
core pointer, with the idea that the serial mouse would always be
present as a device (even when not physically plugged in).

Since the crashes are so unpredictable, I have little hope of getting
this bug resolved. Close it if you want to.
