Sure, because you don't use suspend/hibernate.
AFAICS only some scripts in tools/linux/hal-system-power* are affected by not installing pm-utils. Maybe it would be possible to make these scripts print out a note and exit if pm-utils is not there?
Sounds like a very bad idea to me, sorry.We will certainly get a flood of messages from (desktop)users, where suspend is not working anymore (klicking on gnome-power-manager fails, boo). Imho we should optimise for the common case, not the special case.
