It mostrly uses Hal for querying information of batteries/acpi information
or sysfs paths. The suspend is done manually after doing a lot of other
stuff like unloading modules, stopping services etc.

No it does not yet use hal. But we are currently thinking about adding
support for swsusp2 or even Hals way of doing the suspend. Stay tuned.
BTW, it should be easy to use hal to trigger the suspend. Just create a
custom event script [1] [2] that is executed on suspend request which does
a dbus-send to trigger the corresponding hal method. Of course, a patch is
welcome ;-)
