So there are two problems caused by this bug, and I found following workarounds work for me:

1. The workaround for Xmodmap is to create a /etc/acpi/resume.d/50-xmodmap.sh script
that runs `xmodmap /home/me/.Xmodmap`on every wake up.

2. The second problem is that layouts and layout switcher is broken after the wake up for the external keyboard. You have either to restart the computer(!) or to right click on keyboard indicator -> keyboard preferences -> Layout -> add new layout or remove existing layout -> close. Then the layouts are repaired again. Very annoying.

And together with numerous other bugs and regressions in Ubuntu 8.10 (bluetooth, network and standby issues) it is really unusable for serious work. Since update from 8.04 I am only dealing with Ubuntu every day/evening instead of focusing on my daily tasks/interesting things.
