I did more work on that.

It suspends/resumes fine with acpi-support's legacy mode.

With pm-utils, it still doesn't work. I tried to debug that by building
a custom kernel with PM_TRACE enabled. It pointed me to the following
kernel modules, successively: serio_raw, psmouse, atkbd. I added those
modules to SUSPEND_MODULES, but it still didn't help. By googling almost
randomly, I also tried to "unbind" i8042. Still doesn't help.

At this point, I'm out of ideas. During the last failure, it apparently
generated a Magic number that doesn't match any device:
[    1.246379] registered taskstats
[    1.246662]   Magic number: 0:657:383
[    1.246814]   hash matches drivers/base/power/main.c:174
[    1.254593] rtc_cmos 00:06: setting system clock t o 2028-02-05 14:21:46 UTC 
(1833373306)

I'm not sure of the severity of this bug. My laptop worked fine with
etch, using acpi-support, which was sort of the "default" suspend/resume
infrastructure. Now, everybody (including acpi-support, by default) is
switching to pm-utils, which is the "default" for lenny. So for me at
least, it's a clear/severe regression from etch to lenny, hence the
severity bump.

Also, I'm a bit puzzled that I couldn't find any comment from the
maintainer in any of the severity>normal open bugs on pm-utils.
