Good point.

Sounds good to me, but I think then we should have /etc/pm/config.d/
always, and separate the existing config file into what they do, e.g.

Have no "master config file"

/etc/pm/config.d/video ; HIBERNATE_RESUME_POST_VIDEO="no"
/etc/pm/config.d/modprobe ; SUSPEND_MODULES="button"

That looks clean from my point of view, as it nicely separates code and
config.
