@Ton van Vliet:

I'm not in charge and barely know who is.  Since it hasn't been
backported yet [as far as I know - I think my 10.04 machines are
demanding another reboot after auto-updates], ignoring the messages is
certainly one option.

Not to grouse about it [since I've gotten used to it] but the attitude
to LTS releases seems to be "if something was broken, don't have any
expectation that 'support' means it should be fixed, 'support' equals
patches for security and major functional issues if a Y2K-type bug pops
up across all systems during the 'support' period."  (Actually, keeping
the zoneinfo package current for the world's ever-changing DST rules is
probably a good example of what 'support' really means.)  So since it
was doing this from day one, this bug is just an ongoing characteristic
('feature'?) of 10.04.

Of course, if we flag someone down by making noise here, the *real*
patch is simple enough now that it's identified that I don't think
anyone could complain about getting it in the tree.


In my brief evaluation of 10.10 I forgot to check whether the kernel with the actual patch [and any other changes] would solve the issues with suspend/resume on this hardware.  That could be worth checking if suspend/resume is of interest to you, I'll have to go back and try it myself.
