Post-resume crashes could be kernel problems, so you want to try lastest
kernel snapshots first.
If any fix is in 2.10, it may be very easy to locate since the 2.10
changelog is small once you ignore all the code that was just removed.

Why don't you try 2.10 and see if it actually helps first ?
We could put 2.10 in experimental if it helps, but we still haven't seen
anybody report anything like this. Creating another package looks like a
very bad idea, especially when nobody helps us maintaining the already
existing X packages. Backporting patches is much easier.
