Well, initially pm-utils contained a small utility called pm-pmu, which just did that: poke /dev/pmu via ioctl, to put ppc machines to sleep. Tim decided to keep pm-utils a arch:all package and not ship this tool in pm-utils and instead rely on s2ram from uswsusp, to avoid duplicated functionality (and imho his reasons are sound). Tim, why is uswsusp not available on PPC (and only for i386/amd64)? Is it because of s2ram or s2disk? Should the uswsusp packge be split? Could we support more platforms this way?
