Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.109-9
Severity: normal

At times I have experienced acpi bugs which cause the system to crash
during hibernation or suspension.  While these bugs eventually get 
fixed, or cannot be repeated for unknown reasons, they cause data loss.

As a measure to prevent data loss in the event of an unexpected bug,
I've added a few calls to `sync` in /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh and sleep.sh.  
I think a config option to do this, or just adding default calls to
`sync` in /usr/share/acpi-support/suspendorhibernate would be a good idea.
