Since this is documented in 'upssched.conf' (and we don't enable this  
by default for a good reason), I don't think we need to follow up on  
this.

The latter is redundant. This is the default for the RPMs that are  
shipped by openSUSE and basically is only there to allow you to  
override the default should this be desireable.

We would.

The output of

     egrep upsd /var/log/messages

would be interesting here.

If so, so probably upgraded from a previous version and have not added

     http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/

Note that not all packages are available on the DVD, some require you  
to setup online repositories. If memory serves, NUT is one of them.  
The version of NUT that comes with openSUSE 11.0 is nut-2.2.2 (the  
latest at the time of this writing).
