At a short glance, it looks like the config script sets resume_device
unconditionally to the first partition in /proc/swap (or rather, the
first one produced from
sort -r -k 3 /proc/swaps | awk '$2=="partition" {print $1}'
) without asking or, what's more important, without checking the
configuration file. Later, the postinst script enters this value into
the configuration file, which would be correct if the config script had
taken it from there.
