Yes: the script 90-hdparm.sh is included in /etc/acpi/resume.d as well
as in /etc/acpi/start.d.

Yes. The heat problems that I've heard of are way less problematic than
the dead HDs, it's only a few degrees that we're talking about. They
can't possibly overheat, I mean, if a drive can overheat from just not
parking the heads, the enclosing system probably has way bigger thermal
issues. Death by updatedb. :-)
