There's none as far as I can tell, indeed. After a thought, even cleaning away the quirks would be counterproductive. They apply to old i386 machines that need real mode BIOS calls; while I and most of us have no such hardware to test, it's still used by some users. But keeping such i386 support is not _my_ itch to scratch, I personally wouldn't cry if those parts were trimmed away. Thus: * on old buggy hardware pm-utils works while new stuff doesn't * on old non-buggy, and on modern hardware, pm-utils works and is more convenient to use (eg. on headless boxes) Ie, this bug report is outright bogus. Without even a single identifiable actionable problem, there's nothing to fix.
