Hello Will,

I've just rediscovered your bug report - sorry for 
taking so long to reply.

Could you describe what your (current or envisaged)
setup looks like?

I have to admit that I've never used uswsusp. I'm 
happy to work on it, but I will probably need your help
to get a better understanding of what it requires.

It seems to me like it should work to look up the 
swap partition in /etc/fstab, include any referenced
key files, and then just losetup the device during
boot before uswsusp runs?
