This is not a pm-utils bug as such, but a possible failure of

I'm re-reporting it in pm-utils, because resume-failure is the expected
symptom.

>From main report (ubuntu toshset - novatel_3g_suspend does not check device type)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/toshset/+bug/1219333

Package: toshset-1.76-4
Environment: Ubuntu Saucy Salamander (development branch) Release:	13.10

I found /etc/pm/sleep.d/novatel_3g_suspend on my non-toshiba laptop.
It takes action on suspend/resume, meddling with usb bus=2 device=2 as if this is definitely a novatel-3G thingy.
But nowhere in the script, nor in the pre-install script, does it check that, or even check dmidecode to see if this is a target laptop.

How I installed toshset-1.76-4 I don't know - it's lost in the pre-history of /var/log/dpkg*,
but it was probably mistakenly added as harmless-to-non-toshiba by some dpkg Suggests/Recommends/Requires tag.
[looks, finds it's a dependency of acpi-support]

Is there some traditional way for scanning usb/pci for affected devices in such scripts?
In my case usb/2-2 was unoccupied, but this could mangle hibernate/resume for someone with a critical device there
