Looks like none of the gazillion methods to suspend your system that
are tried in

/usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend

does work. File a bug: the Debian maintainer should add a stanza here
that stands a chance to work on Debian and also add appropriate
Depends/Recommends/Suggests to the hal package. Other scripts
in this directory need work, too, e.g. hal-system-power-set-power-save
does nothing at all on Debian, but could call laptop_mode etc
