It's too far along in the dapper release cycle to start moving to this
very invasive system. Even if it weren't, I'd be against it since we'd
be making a huge change to the kernel and taking on all the problems
that come with it (pretty much any bugs we encountered would be ignored
by upstream kernel maintainers because of it).

Hopefully swsusp gets into upstream kernel by 2.6.17, since that's what
we'll probably be using for dapper+1.
