After discovering two different unrelated packages abusing the pm-utils hooks, I started wondering if there are any generic guidance wrt such hooks.
Can any package just provide the hook directories it want without an explicit policy? And can any package provide hooks in such directories, even if there is no policy for its usage? Does it make any difference if the hooks are configuration files? My claim is that packages like unattended-upgrades and pm-utils are completely unrelated to each other, and that a hook in unattended-upgrades which breaks pm-utils by preventing hibernation is a critical bug, even if the breakage seems intentional. But i may be wrong. Maybe it's OK to break any package with a hook interface and no policy for its usage, as the package itself then has provided the necessary infrastructure for breaking it?
