Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: procps
According to man, amongst other things uptime shows "how long the system
has been running". This is not true in the case of suspending the
computer, as uptime counts the time spend in suspend as uptime time. In
this way one can turn on a computer, put it to sleep for a week and then
go back from suspend and uptime will show them the whole 7 days of
uptime.
