A future version of powersaved (0.15.x) will become a simple policy
daemon, just like gnome-power-manager or kpowersave is, only without X
dependencies.
As such it will only listen and react to power management events and
call the corresponding HAL methods and let HAL do the heavy lifting.

Bug#459452: powersaved: conflicts with pm-utils

[Jeremie Bouttier]

Package: powersaved
Version: 0.14.0-8
Severity: important

  Hi,

Currently powersaved depends on hal which itself depends on pm-utils. Therefore 
there 
are two power management infrastructures installed and operating at the same 
time, 
leading to various conflicts and race-conditions (for instance, upon unplugging 
AC, 
there are two concurrent scripts trying to modify kernel settings like 
/proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode, etc). Don't really know what the fix should be...
