Hi Boris, Christian,
The files /etc/uswsusp.conf and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume are
conffiles, but these files are different in every host, so we shouldn't include
them as "conffiles". See [1] and [2]. For this reason you cannot find them
using 'apt-file' or 'dpkg -S'. IMO, the current configuration (no automatic
conffile) is right.
When you move your filesystems, some things could change. For example, the
/etc/fstab could be different. If you change the machine, the hardware could be
different and some drivers (pe. video) should be changed. In those cases, you
edit the fstab file and update your X11 package. Why should be different with
uswsusp? uswsusp doesn't have any bug, simply your filesystems are different
and you should reconfigure it. 'dpkg-reconfigure uswsusp' do it.
IMO, nothing is wrong, your script "update-resume-info" is "dpkg-reconfigure
uswsusp" and probably this bug should be closed.
Please, tell us if you agree with closing this bug.
Best regards,
kix.
