I'd argue that the vast majority of laptop users is using pm-utils via HAL. I'm personally against trying to support a dozen different power management script suites and I don't think it makes sense if we attempt to do so. We had that before in hal, and it was a bloddy mess. (FWIW, acpi-support afaik is dead) Now we only support pm-utils within hal and we finally begin to have a sane (and manageable) power management stack with HAL/pm-utils and frontends like kpowersave/gnome-power-manager talking to HAL via D-Bus. FWIW, the Ubuntu laptop-mode-tools package has just added the pm-utils hooks. Maybe you can consider to just copy their work. I decided to reassign this bug to laptop-mode-tools.
