Great sluething, Sune! I was almost as far along, having figured out that pm-is-supported --suspend was failing due to missing s2ram, but hadn't made the connection that removing uswsusp might make the problem go away. I can confirm that gnome-power-manager regrows the suspend option after an "/etc/init.d/dbus restart". I think we should file a bug as "installing uswsusp causes failure of pm-is-supported --suspend".
