Looks like the UUID of the swap partition changed during dist-upgrade.
I now looked up the UUID, entered it in
/etc/initramfs-tools//conf.d/resume, and now it works as before.

The question remains: which step during dist-upgrade changes the UUID of
swap? Is there some hidden "mkswap"? The fault is, that this step does
not correct the UUID in /etc/initramfs-tools//conf.d/resume.
