Package: pm-utils
Version: 1.2.5-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I just spent some time digging through the pm-utils functions, trying
to figure out why my system always wanted to switch to console before
suspending. 

Only after commenting out all the chvt entries I figured
out this was because uswsusp was installed, came with it's own set of
quirks, and was preferred by default.

Is this really the desired behaviour? pm-utils seems much more well
behaved and up to date, and at least on this system, works much better.
(The problem I was trying to solve worked out of the box with
pm-utils).

Perhaps uswsusp shouldn't be the default, even if it is installed, or
perhaps the "recommends" should really be a "suggests"? (A quick skim
through the changelog seems to indicate it was added as a recommends
before these were installed by default?)

Thanks in advance,
