If that's the case, are you saying that pm-utils should be left in its current, 
broken state? While
uswsusp might break for people who already have installed it, mistakenly, there 
are cases where
people cannot hibernate without using uswsusp (and hence applying some 
workaround listed above which
may or may not break future upgrades). Are you going to leave it like that, 
instead of getting the
people who have already, mistakenly installed uswsusp to uninstall uswsusp?

Another thing is that if this issue is left as it is, and users for whom 
uswsusp is broken upgrade
to Intrepid, where there's a new version of pm-utils which correctly utilizes 
uswsusp, then it's
going to get a whole lot of bug reports and/or complaints/negative blog/forum 
posts saying that
"Intrepid broke my hibernate!"
