Typically there should a fuel gauging application that reads the information 
from the device kit power using dbus info and can inform the user of the 
battery conditions

 -- provide low battery warning to user, so the users can shutdown unnecessary 
apps
 -- provide warning to user indicating when "calls will no longer be possible" 
given the current rate of discharge

The policy manager can also figure out how best to 
 --make emergency calls when the battery is really low (these will depend on 
battery type, voltage left and modem power etc)

Eventually the user space policy manger can define these scenarios

absolutely

and the layer on top of that is upower which provides a dbus interface 
to this information.
