> This statement is wrong. As said earlier, pm-suspend and pm-hibernate works

Clearly, I think we're getting lost in translation.  Writting "Your
distribution configured the
>> system in a way that suspend/hibernate is broken" is obviously wrong when you speak of a system with a working suspend hibernate mechanism. It is more "Your distribution configured the system in a way that Powerdevil suspend/hibernate is broken". It may not looks like such, but actually it really means something else. suspend/hibernate does work.

So we agree that this bug is UPSTREAM, if anything. Thanks!

I'd gladly try ConsoleKit2 but I dont think it has been packaged yet.  Which
version of upower is known to include ConsoleKit2 support?

That is very nice of you Michael (and, BTW, I thank you for your meaningful
comments) but it looks like I'll end up using an outdated upower
(http://snapshot.debian.org/package/upower/0.9.23-2/ Seen in debian on
2013-10-23!) waiting for PolicyKit2 to be actually packaged.

Still, days after days, I cannot help but feeling pressured to use systemd,
which actually makes more more suspicious about it. I understand that
powerdevil depends on upower that in turned somehow dropped support for
pm-utils, endgame being that for the desktop user, it is just a regression,
even though you are not responsible for it. I sincerily wonder if I'll be able
to keep using KDE next year without systemd or whether more and more parts will
stop to work similarly.
