Here is some feedback/suggestions

1.) suspend/hibernate broke for me. I got this in pm-suspend.log
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/98-video-quirk-db-handler suspend
suspend:/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/98-video-quirk-db-handler: line 225:
((: 0x10de ==  : syntax error: operand expected (error token is "==
")
success.

The result was, that no quirks were applied. I'm having bash 4.1 installed.

2.) Could we please rename 98-video-quirk-db-handler to 98video-quirk-db-handler
for consistencies sake

3.) It would be great, if 98-video-quirk-db-handler was a /bin/sh script.

4.) I think we should do a one-time conversion of hal-infos' suspend
quirks and ship that within pm-utils.
The hal mailing list has become relatively quite wrt suspend quirks,
so I don't think we need a separate package like pm-utils-info, which
could be released independently of pm-utils. And syncing the quirks
that are submitted to hal-info with pm-utils' quirks db should not be
that much effort.
If against all expectations this becomes a problem, we can split that
out any time in the future.

Cheers,
Michael
