Hi, pm-utils maintainer here:

Giving pm-utils the infrastructure discover the appropriate quirks for
any given system without relying on an external program passing them in
or having an easy-to-query database would involve a rather drastic
expansion of what pm-utils is responsible for.  It is doable, but doing
it at the pm-utils level would be ugly and I have no interest in
creating and maintaining yet another quirk database to be maintained
along with HAL and s2ram's database.
