Not really, the interesting bits of pm-utils are done by systemd in C
code directly. pm-utils doesn't really have any purpose anymore and
upower can defer to systemd's logind instead.

According to the X driver folks the quirks are entirey unnecessary these
days, and if there indeed is something left over then it should be fixed
in the drivers, not in userspace quirks. We only did the in-systemd
suspending after ensuring that the quirks are entirely unnecessary now.

Nothing, really. Just don't pull it in anymore.
