Progress.  A user reported at
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.suspend.devel/8559 that
they were able to get suspend to work using s2ram from uswsusp.  Debian
Squeeze currently uses pm-utils, so I have adapted that user's settings
to Debian by performing the following:

1) Edit /etc/default/grub.  Add the option noapic to the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="noapic"

2) Add an option file for pm-utils in the directory /etc/pm/config.d.
This directory should be empty at initial install time, and the file may
be named anything.  I named mine "acer-aspire-1551".  The contents
should include the following:

ADD_PARAMETERS="--quirk-s3-mode --quirk-vbemode-restore"
# The following may not be needed, but isn't harmful.  This removes both networking drivers from the kernel
SUSPEND_MODULES="wl atl1e"

3) Compiz is incompatible with resumption from suspend-to-ram.  I found that running 
$ metacity --replace &
prior to suspending, and 
$ compiz --replace &
afterward worked just fine.  Maybe there is a way to automate this, too?

4) The wireless module is off, by hardware switch after the transient.
You may need to Fn+F3 to restore it, or maybe there is a software
solution for that button.
