But even if we get rid of the quirks, the actual tools (/usr/sbin/pm-*) are
still needed.

With systemd-shim hardly working, and being likely on its way out, using
systemd/logind for suspend/resume is not a reasonable idea; pm-utils are a
simple building block.
The package consists of two parts:
* scripts that handle the commands, passing them to backends, some logic
like setting disk spindown
* working around bugs in a random shit laptop whose vendor I won't call any
names they deserve as any such comparison would be unfair to retarded
monkeys on crack
The first part is much needed, maintaining the second would require an
extreme masochist.
