Dear Maintainer, pm-utils hasn't had any changed in 13 years upstream. It's been effectively replaced by systemd-sleep in all practical ways. It should be removed from the archive.
[Public] There was a comment on #852167 that there are no non-systemd tools, but that's simply not true. All you need for a suspend is echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state BTW - there's a reason that systemd refuses to include a lot of hooks and quirks. The scripts/quirks/etc that pm-utils does are presumptuous and generally not correct.

will consider myself upstream, but I think there are probably other
people worth collaborating with. Anyway, I'm not changing this
package for bookworm at this stage unless to fix a very serious bug.
For the next release, I agree that this package could do with some
love. It might be worth transferring maintainership to the Debian
Init Diversity Team, and in any case the patches ought to be reviewed
and applied.
For the avoidance of doubt: I would of course welcome constructive
NMUs. Members of the Debian Init Diversity Team are welcome to do
0-day NMUs. But, not during the freeze.
Thanks,
Ian.

Hi Mario systemctl susped refuses to work when the suspend.target is linked to /dev/null Unfortunately I can't review the quirkdb files if they are still right or not. But from the age they probably are irrelevant when they have not been removed since 13 years, counting. Best, Alex
