That would be a bad idea. If we want uswsusp to work with pm-utils by default (if uswsusp is
installed) then no changes need to be done. But what James Westby and the rest of them want to do is
allow uswsusp to be installed, and pm-utils doesn't use it unless you explicitly install AND enable
it. Well this effect could be achieved better through the use of debconf, but honestly, too many
prompts by debconf isn't pretty, and should be kept to a minimum.

And also, I agree that if we don't have s2ram even built in the uswsusp package, then we should at
least have a separate package with just s2ram in it.
