I'm not sure that Frank's follow-up comment and package assignment
corresponds to the original bug report.
If I understand the original bug report correctly, the problem is that
systemd reports 'yes' to CanSuspend on systems that only support
'freeze', and that this is seen as incorrect.
Therefore the problem is not inconsistency between systemd and pm-utils;
the problem is inconsistency between systemd and the consumer of the
CanSuspend API (in this case, libvirt).
This API is org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.CanSuspend, which is part of
logind, which is defined by systemd. So unless this is a behavior
change in systemd, it doesn't appear to be a bug that we can do anything
about directly in Ubuntu; the semantics of this API are defined by
upstream, and any changes to those semantics would need to be negotiated
with upstream.
For my part, I am not clear why 'freeze' should not be considered a
subcategory of suspend-to-mem, so perhaps this bug will be 'wontfix' by
systemd upstream. At the very least, this bug report seems to be
missing an explanation of why the current behavior of systemd is wrong.
In any case, it's clear to me that no change in pm-utils will address
the root problem being reported, because a) libvirt prefers logind over
pm-utils, we always have logind present in 18.04, and we do not install
pm-utils by default, so changing pm-utils will not change the observed
behavior; and b) AIUI the bug submitter is asserting that pm-utils'
behavior is the correct behavior.
