I don't think I can responsibly report a bug as I have no idea which
package I might report it against. This was a rather large upgrade of
a testing system which had not been upgraded in quite awhile. Any
number of things might have changed.
I do think, though, that defaults, however sensible they may be (and
suspending a laptop when the lid is closed and it is on AC power does
not strike me as particularly sensible), should not be allowed to
override settings I've made. Had I not had physical access to this
server, I would have been screwed!
