no, more like:

/etc/pm/{hooks,sleep.d}/ having links
01foo -> /usr/lib/pm/hooks/foo
05bar -> /usr/lib/pm/hooks/bar
99baz -> /usr/lib/pm/hooks/baz

So you add a link -> enable the hook
rm the link -> disable the hook

It is even more intuitive than the "set the x bit to enable, remove it to
disable" IMO.
The cream topping will be if somebody writes a "chkconfig" style hook-enable-
and-reorder-tool :-)
