That may explain something I've noticed. After install, my
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file looks like this:

RESUME=/dev/hdb2

which makes /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh fail, because the latter expects an
UUID as opposed to a /dev file. If, as you say, it's the installer
that added this /dev/hdb2 line, then there's a bug in the installer.

Finally, I did a reinstall of initramfs-tools (apt-get install
--reinstall initramfs-tools). This fixed
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume, making use UUID instead of /dev/.

Thanks,
