Hi Jeremie, thanks for the bug report. Imho it would be "cleaner", if packages, just as anacron in this case, shipped those hooks themself. We might add them to pm-utils as an intermediate solution, but when pm-utils is pervasive enough (and hopefully has established as default powermanagement scripts suite), we will try to push out those scripts to the original packages again.
