Do you have any more specific suggestions as to how this would work, or 
a pointer on why this is a grave issue?


It seems reasonable to expect that the swapfile can be accessed as 
listed in /etc/fstab.  The problem isn't really unique to uswsusp; e.g. 
"swapoff -a; swapon -a" isn't going to work either.


You already have to do a bit of namespace manipulation and careful 
thinking.  You can bind mount individual files.  What's wrong with 
adding /var/swap to the list of things you have to bind-mount?

Package: uswsusp
Version: 0.8-1.1+b1
Severity: grave

/var/swap is there but uswsusp runs from inside a chroot.  It shouldn't
assume swap is going to be directly accessible when it is a file (for a
dev I guess it's fine since /dev has to be bind-mounted anyway).

S'està configurant uswsusp (0.8-1.1+b1) ...
