Suspend and resume are normally handled by the kernel, with some help
from initramfs-tools for resuming from disk.  pm-utils is not required
for this, although it has other useful functionality.

So long as you don't use uswsusp, the right package is linux-2.6.  If
you do use uswsusp then it could be either package at fault.

That page appears to be very outdated.  There is little point in
maintaining a database; any failures belong in a bug tracker.

Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
