Ok.  But adjusting the sysctl might not be enough; KDE has a "suspend
when lid closed" setting which seems to be broken right now, but if it
worked we would need to figure out how to disable that as well.

The example of a system which can usefully suspend but doesn't have enough
battery life left to allow it to complete a normal shutdown seems a bit
implausible, but I'll concede that it's theoretically possible.  Maybe we
should have an rc.d script which checks an rc.conf setting?
