Package: hibernate
Version: 1.99-1
Severity: wishlist

I support a number of laptops which are set up with two encrypted
partitions, root (encryption handled via luks) and a swap partition (a
random key generated on boot).  The swap is given a random key to reduce
the number of passwords users have to remember and enter on boot as none
of them use suspend to disk.  However the hibernate script
( /etc/init.d/hibernate ) always calls resume on boot, giving a pause in
booting and this message:

resume: Could not stat the resume device file.
        Please type in the file name to try again     or press ENTER to
boot the system:

I appreciate this may be very complicated to implement (plus there is a
question over who's problem it is), but it would be great if the system
could recognise that all of it's swap partitions where randomly keyed /
had recently been created and thus skip the call to resume.

Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
 - Martin
