The resume script is supplied in src:initramfs-tools, and the stage at
which it is run is AFAICT currently undocumented there, so we can't rely
on it in src:cryptsetup documentation either (I don't see how it could
be moved elsewhere, but it remains at the discretion of the initramfs-tools
maintainers).

Yeah, unless you can give a good reason to document that.  The good
thing about not documenting internals is that we retain the freedom to
shuffle things around should the need arise at some point :-)
