Bug#544641: lvm2: Can't resume from a uswsusp hibernation on LVM swap

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.51-2
Severity: normal

My machines all use LVM and have their swap on LVM as well.
Recently the hibernation feature started to fail, because upon
resume, it couldn't find the swap partition.  It seems the problem
is that /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 tries
to activate $ROOT and $RESUME, but with uswsusp, $RESUME is just
set to "y" rather than to the actual device (the resume device
name is stored in /etc/uswsusp.conf instead).

As a workaround I added RESUME=/dev/mapper/foo-swap to
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/uswsusp, but that should
not be necessary.
