If anyone's interested: I finally solved the problem -- I was still using initrd-tools instead of initramfs-tools. I consider myself lucky finding that information somewhere online. So I re-installed the linux-image package with initramfs-tools after attempting to update-initramfs which failed. Everything works now, but I still have trouble with gnome-power-manager telling me that suspend failed after a successful resume. Some things are still broken and GPM does not offer all options in their properties dialog (which is most annoying), but suspend-to-disk and resume finally works!
