There's two ways of new/changed yaird functionality to enter Debian:

 1) Adoption by upstream

 2) Someone offering to maintain the patch

As upstream has not yet adopted the patch, and I personally have not
yet played with swsusp at all, I have now proposed the patch ingeneer,
C. Scott Ananian, to step up and become member of the yaird packaging
team.

Alternatively I will reconsider taking on the responsibility myself,
and if not I will probably change the packaging so that it will
get included with simply setting an environment variable when
rebuilding the package.


Hope that helps :-)
