I'm saying that they do always want it in /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d.
All I was getting at is that an external package shouldn't have to
guess where that directory is. They should just ask:
pmsleepdir=`pkg-config --variable=sleepdir pm-utils` or whatever the
variables are named. Chances are low that this would be screwed up in
a 3rd party package, but why not provide a foolproof way when we have
a system (pkg-config) that perfectly encapsulates this information?
