Sorry, yes; I believe this is a case where the potential for regressions
outweighs the benefits of an SRU. I don't know of any recent hardware that
needs uswsusp to do suspend to disk or suspend to ram, but I do think
there's a risk that users who have uswsusp installed in hardy but don't need
it will see unfavorable behavior changes as a result of this non-standard
suspend mechanism.
So I think this bug is 'wontfix' for hardy.
What hardware do you have that doesn't work with the built-in suspend
support?
