Package: hibernate
Version: 1.99-1
Severity: normal

When doing a Debian kernel upgrade (in my case
linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 version 2.6.26-12 to 2.6.26-13) and then calling
hibernate (to disk), I cannot resume the saved state, because the kernel
no longer matches the image and because the update did not change the
version number, the old kernel is no longer available.

I'm not sure what solution to suggest here, possible ways:
- make Debian kernel upgrades create a file which causes hibernate to
  abort. Remove this file after reboot.
- Try to find the current kernel image and verify if it is the running
  kernel (maybe see if file change time is older than uptime?)
  On resume this seems to be checked, too, so it should be possible with
  some kind of checksum.

I'm not sure about the bug's severity either, it is kind of wishlist, but
could be considered important if you haven't saved your data before hibernate.
