Hm, the admin configures pm-utils below /etc/pm and puts additional hooks
into /usr/lib/pm/...? What would be wrong with that?
I agree with Tim that /etc/pm/functions should be put into /usr/lib/pm.
The problem about the hooks is, that they are activated/deactivated
via the x-bit. It would be a bit odd to have to change the x bit of a
file in /usr/lib/pm.
Maybe using symlinks would be a better idea anyway, similar to /etc/init.d
Cheers,
Michael
