Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.4.1-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

For some reason, pm-utils enables wake on LAN on my system by
default. I don't think that's a good default -- if you need wake on
LAN, you can enable it yourself. Otherwise you're just wasting
power. Most people don't need wake on LAN.

Although it's great that pm-utils disables wake on LAN when running on
battery power, it should not assume that a user wants wake on LAN
enabled just because the system is running on AC power.

The problem lies in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/disable_wol.
