Add 26-inhibit-on-right-status.patch: Do not use the exit status of log
rather the exit status of the hook thereby allowing inhibit to work.
Thanks to Launchpad user Lekensteyn for the patch. (LP: #665651)

debian/control: Demote "kbd | console-tools" to Recommends. If KMS is
used, chvt is no longer required so we only need it as fallback.

debian/control: Version the laptop-mode-tools conflicts to << 1.55, as
from that version on the /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode was
renamed, thus avoiding the file conflict. (Closes: #612710, LP: #638307)

* Add 13-49bluetooth-sync.patch: Wait for btusb module to get unused, so
  that you can remove it in SUSPEND_MODULES. (LP: #698331)
* Add 14-disable-sata-alpm.patch: Disable SATA link power management by
  default, as it still causes disk errors and corruptions on many hardware.
  (LP: #539467)

* debian/patches/12-fix-intel-audio-powersave-hook.patch
  - Fix path in intel-audio-powersave hook and the log output.
    (Closes: #598006). Thanks Florian Kriener for the patch!
* Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt)
  - Add debian/source/format.
  - Drop quilt from Build-Depends.
  - Remove /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk include.
  - Remove debian/README.source.
  - Move video-quirks to debian/ so they are handled properly by
    dpkg-source.

* debian/rules: Remove harddrive power hook, this causes excessive hard disk
  spindown on a lot of machines. The hdparm package already ships a less
  aggressive hook (with -B 128 instead of -B 1). (LP: #606706)
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1 (no changes necessary).
* debian/rules: Use dpkg-vendor instead of lsb_release, and drop lsb-release
  build dependency.

[ Matt Zimmerman ]
debian/control: Conflicts/Replaces: laptop-mode-tools, as both ship
/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode and the changelog below indicates
these two packages should not be used together anyway. (LP: #606160)

47. By Michael Biebl

[ Michael Biebl ]
* New upstream release. (Closes: #588587)
  The main improvement is that this ships some generally useful power
  management hooks by default. Note that this conflicts with similar
  packages such as laptop-mode-tools or pm-utils-powersave-policy, so you
  should not enable them and pm-utils at the same time.
  Current hooks when switching to battery:
  - [disable_wol] Disable Wake-on-LAN on ethernet cards
  - [hal-cd-polling] Disable HAL's polling of CD drives for automounting
    them. Note that this HAL functionality is already obsolete in Debian's
    current GNOME, but still being used in current KDE and XFCE desktops.
  - [harddrive] More aggressive harddrive spindown times
  - [intel-audio-powersave] Put ac97 and hda cards to sleep when inactive.
  - [journal-commit, xfs_buffer] Delay ext[34]/ext journal/metadata
    writeback
  - [laptop-mode] Delay hard disk writeback times of dirty caches, to avoid
    spin ups
  - [pcie_aspm] PCI express cards power saving
  - [readahead] More speculative readahead, at the expense of using more
    memory
  - [sata_alpm] Enable SATA link power management
  - [sched-powersave] Try to use fewer cores on multi-core machines
  - [wireless] Reduce RX/TX power when idle on some known-working drivers
    (various Intel chips for now)
* video-quirks/*
  - Update quirks to latest upstream release pm-quirks-20100619.
* Drop patches applied upstream
  - debian/patches/05-inspiron-8600-ati-quirk.patch
  - debian/patches/08-fix-lock-file-handling.patch
  - debian/patches/12-man-page-fixes.patch
* Refresh and update all patches so they apply cleanly.
* debian/control
  - Demote radeontool to Suggests. The standard Debian/Ubuntu kernels use
    KMS for radeon which makes this tool obsolete. (Closes: #588768)

[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/control: Add hdparm Recommends and ethtool/wireless-tools Suggests,
  for the newly added power saving hooks.
* debian/control: Conflicts/Replaces: pm-utils-powersave-policy, superseded
  by the now integrated power.d hooks.

46. By Michael Biebl

* debian/control
  - Don't make dependency on vbetool and uswsusp arch-specific since
    pm-utils is an architecture all package (and we want to keep it so).
    As vbetool and uswsusp are only Recommends resp. Suggests this poses no
    problems for architectures where those dependencies can't be satisfied.
    (Closes: #583062)

45. By Martin Pitt

Drop debian/suspend-blacklist again, the underlying kernel bug was fixed
in lucid-updates now. (LP: #526354)
