I tend to agree, but unfortunately the powersave people know nothing about
the acpi-support or hibernate packages (they're really SuSE folks, iirc),
so I've completely removed that package and made changes in /etc/powersave/
to match the changes I previously had in /etc/acpi.  The next version of
kpowersave may look quite different, because the Ubuntu packager isn't
happy with the way it works, now, but I doubt that will mean any
integration with the existing acpi-support/hibernate packages.
