The decisive factor is not if you
have DK-disks installed, but if you have hal installed. If you have a
system without hal, then you won't need the entire hal-info (and thus
those fdi files) either. The exception is pm-utils prior to 1.3, which
can read the suspend quirks straight from fdi files without going
through hal.
