[Pm-utils] pm-utils on suse 10.2 and suspend2

SuSE has elaborate scripts for pm-utils, with config in
/etc/pm/config, and the helper functions for powersave in
/usr/lib/powersave include suspend2.

What I'd like to do is to interpret the powerbutton push as a command
to use suspend2, and then it will do whatever hibernate sees as
PowerdownMethod.

Apparently, the old scripts mentioned on the 'net for /etc/acpi are no
longer used, and config for acpi refers to clients for interpretation
of actions.  Then /etc/powersave says it's also deprecated in favor of
/etc/pm/config.

So what's the right way to integrate suspend2 with SUSE 10.2 and make
it interpret power events such as button push via calling hibernate?

Cheers,
Alexy
