Package: uswsusp
Version: 1.0+20110509-2

Hi,

with the current version of initramfs-tools, uswsuspend needs a
paramter to resume, namely the current swap partition, e.g.
resume=/dev/swap.

This this different from previous behaviour, where it needed a
special parameter (noresume) in order to not to resume.

This change in behaviour is not documented. (e.g. in the README.
debian) Besides, the same information is also available in
/etc/uswsusp.conf (resume device), and both need to match in
order for resume to work.

For me, the general assumtion that you would like to resume when
the computer has been shutdown via suspend is much more likely
than not to resume, so I'd like to see the previous behaviour
(booting with resume and no special parameter) again.

Even if a parameter is needed, having to update the same
information at two location manually without documentation is
error prone and ugly. Reuse the information in /etc/uswsusp.conf
(or from debconf) for generating usefull defaults for bootloader
configuration would be more adeuqate. The minimum would be to
documented it, first step being this report.

Last I'd like to repeat that resume on boot after suspend without
special measures would follow the principle of least surprise and
would be most preferred for me.

Bye,

Joerg
