I got both suspend and hibernate working again after manually installing
an older kernel (2.6.35 - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v2.6.35-maverick/) If you look in the parent directory
you'll see that it's quite an old one so maybe it was a bit of an
overkill.

in any case, two-finger scrolling on the touchpad flew out the window
pretty much instantly (I remember having defined some custom driver for
that in maverick previously), but edge-scrolling still works. Audio and
video still work as they did before and I can't see anything obviously
wrong otherwise...but i guess a lot of bugs have been squashed since
then so a  progressively going backwards might be better.

In any case, installation apparently has to be done in a specific
sequence:

1 linux-header-xxxxxx-all.deb
2 linux-header-xxxxxxx-(your architecture i386 OR amd64 goes here).deb
2 linux-image-xxxxxxx-(your architecture i386 OR amd64 goes here).deb

then run sudo update-grub to make the option available to you under the
"previous linux version" boot option. I dont know if that's helpful in
solving the bug, itself but if people need a work-around to the problem
in the mean time, this MIGHT be one (no guarantees, since i dont know
what im doing half the time!)
