I don't have enough information yet to make an educated decision.
Can't we just accept the default that is set in /sys/power/disk and
leave HIBERNATE_METHOD commented out by default (and we do nothing if
-z) ?
That means, the user would have to intentionally set HIBERNATE_METHOD
via /etc/pm/config.d and if he does that, he likely knows what he is
doing?
