 If my memory serves me well i applied version-specific patch first (using
apply script) then core patch and then acpi patch (actually at first
recompiled kernel without acpi patch so i had to recompile my kernel again)
 (i'm also running Debian/Unstable)

 I did not test 2.6.8.1 w/o latest acpi patch extensively but simple
suspend-to-disk and back again worked perfectly even from X (I had problems
with this on some earlier 2.6.x (2.6.5 ?) kernel). Now i'm using 2.6.8.1
with latest acpi for a few days and have been suspending to disk couple
times per day without any sign of problem (my battery went dead on me).

 To sum it up: try to put swsusp2 patches first and acpi patch after that.
