Comment 711 for bug 59695

After reviewing this bug and bug 223879, I agree that pm-utils needs to be fixed too (and confirmed that with Steve Langasek on IRC).

Nevertheless, notwithstanding some side-effects on certain pieces of hardware that are probably not entirely resolvable, I think that the acpi-support package in hardy-proposed is on balance a significant improvement. It is true that until pm-utils is fixed, power management will be reset on suspend/resume; nevertheless this is better than it being wrong across the board.

I've raised the priority of the pm-utils task on this bug as high as it will go, assigned it to Steve, and targeted it for 8.04.3. I expect that it can in fact be dealt with well before that.
