** Description changed:

  In order to maximise testing and reporting on failed
  suspend/hibernate/resume cycles we are proposing to modify processing
  such it is possible to track whether a suspend/hibernate was in
  progress.  This allows us to detect this on normal boot and then report
  it via apport to launchpad.  Additionally we are delivering a suspend
  stress test.  Change fall into three parts:
  
   - kernel: shipping the suspend stress test script with the kernel image 
itself,
   - pm-utils: modifications to actually track the what operations are in 
progress, and
   - apport: adding a new type of report for failed operations.
  
  ---
+ KERNEL:
+ The changes here are already applied and released.
  
- There are changes required to apport in order to support reporting of
- suspend/resume problems. During suspend and hibernate, pm-utils will
- create a 'flag' file while going down, and remove it while coming up.
- When the apport init script start function runs, it will check for the
- existence of this flag file. If it is present, it is assumed that a
- previous resume failed and that the user restarted the machine.
+ PM-UTILS:
+ simple new sleep.d script to expose the current 'in-progress' operations such 
that external scripts can detect it indicating a failure during that operation.
+ 
+ APPORT:
+ There are changes required to apport in order to support reporting of 
suspend/resume problems. During suspend and hibernate, pm-utils will create a 
'flag' file while going down, and remove it while coming up. When the apport 
init script start function runs, it will check for the existence of this flag 
file. If it is present, it is assumed that a previous resume failed and that 
the user restarted the machine.
  
  These changes to apport add the check in the init script. If the flag
  file exists, then a python script is called which creates a crash report
  file in /var/crash for later processing by apport, and the flag file is
  deleted.
  
- Martin Pitt has reviewed these and approved them, but he's on holiday
- this week, so could someone else please push them into Jaunty?
