Since I don't use systemd, obviously I don't agree. If necessary I
will consider myself upstream, but I think there are probably other
people worth collaborating with. Anyway, I'm not changing this
package for bookworm at this stage unless to fix a very serious bug.
For the next release, I agree that this package could do with some
love. It might be worth transferring maintainership to the Debian
Init Diversity Team, and in any case the patches ought to be reviewed
and applied.
For the avoidance of doubt: I would of course welcome constructive
NMUs. Members of the Debian Init Diversity Team are welcome to do
0-day NMUs. But, not during the freeze.
Thanks,
Ian.

Bug#1035397: pm-utils is abandoned, should be removed from Debian
[Public] There was a comment on #852167 that there are no non-systemd tools, but that's simply not true. All you need for a suspend is echo mem | sudo tee /sys/power/state BTW - there's a reason that systemd refuses to include a lot of hooks and quirks. The scripts/quirks/etc that pm-utils does are presumptuous and generally not correct.
