Bug#863679: /usr/sbin/pm-powersave: repeatedly runs until /var/log/pm-powersave.log fills up disk

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.4.1-17
Severity: critical
File: /usr/sbin/pm-powersave
Justification: breaks the whole system

In the last few days, pm-powersave is being called roughly once per
second, which is logging to /var/log/pm-powersave.log until there's no
disk space left. I don't think I have any custom configuration of
pm-utils or related software.

I've worked around the issue by installing a script that sleeps 600
seconds into /etc/pm/power.d/zzzsleep, but this obviously isn't a real
solution...

It appears to be getting called by acpid, so maybe the problem really
lies there:

  ├─acpid
  │   └─sh -c /etc/acpi/power.sh
  │   └─power.sh /etc/acpi/power.sh
  │   └─pm-powersave /usr/sbin/pm-powersave false
  │   └─zzzsleep /etc/pm/power.d/zzzsleep false
  │   └─sleep 600

One iteration loop in /var/log/pm-powersave.log looks like this:

Thanks to fsfs backporting licensecheck, I've updated devscripts'
backport to 2.17.5~bpo8+1.
