Yes, ultimately, this is a driver issue. But what's going to be the
result of this reassignment to linux? Likely this issue will be
acknowledged over in the linux component and then just languish (likely
for a long time) until the ivtv developers fix the problem.
In the meanwhile ivtv users will continue to have problems suspending
and resuming while waiting for somebody to do something (that nobody is
likely interested in working on).
Wouldn't it be much more useful to your users to install my suggested
work-around in the pm-utils package until the upstream driver is fixed?
After-all, most users couldn't give a rat's ass which package a problem
is in. Most users just want things to work and don't care about the
bureaucracy of what the cause of a problem is, who owns a problem and
what the "proper" fix is.
Ultimately, it should be the teams goal to resolve user specified
problems as fast as possible. Yes, that might mean installing a less
than desirable work-around until a better solution is available. But
that's what serving "customers" is all about.
