It's fine in intrepid.

I eventually figured this out -- sorry for forgetting about the bug.

The problem is that I need the 'tp_smapi' module loaded for unsuspend to
work. In hardy (but not intrepid) this module is in the package linux-
ubuntu-modules-<kernel version>-generic. Unlike all the other packages
with <kernel version> in their name, there is no 'linux-ubuntu-modules-
generic' package that always depends on the latest kernel-version-
specific package.

Therefore, whenever hardy's kernel version number rolls over, update-
manager happily installs the new kernel but not the new linux-ubuntu-
modules package, and at the next boot the tp_smapi module is
unavailable, and suspend regresses again.

Given the severity of the regresssion, the low risk of the fix, and that
it will otherwise keep regressing every n months for the life of hardy,
I'd recommend creating a linux-ubuntu-modules-generic package analogous
to the other rolling kernel packages.
