Running a shell-script has non-zero overhead, even if that shell script
ends up doing nothing (see also the current work on systemd).  Debian
doesn't support kernels older than 2.6.32 (the version released with
squeeze), and if a user self-compiles a kernel with CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=n
then it seems like pm-utils ought to respect that. :)
