Well, I'll happily do that, or maybe contact the pm-utils team. I'm very 
interrested in finding a sensible, lasting solution. 

Judging from the pm-utils documentation, this is however a key feature. In my 
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d there are scripts from netcfg, networkmanager, pm-
utild itself, some kernel related ones, amongst others.

And I do not see any harm in this, it seems that -everybody- many people  
wants this information to be available.

It also seems that noone have a better solution at this time.

But thanks for the comments, I will try and get in touch with pm-utils people.
