One problem is, that the hal version in Debian doesn't support standby.
powersave is coming from suse, and they have patched hal to support 
standby (aka S1).
I guess they never tried to get this patch merged upstream, as S1 is 
mostly useless. The power savings are marginal.
I'm a bit undecided, if it makes sense to pull the standby patch from suse.

Cheers,
Michael
