The Conflict was introduced by pm-utils. We Recommend them because we
install a hook into pm-utils to be invoked during resume.
With LMT 1.56 (that has been recently released), we enhanced our invoke
model. So we no more are relying on them for invocation on resume.
When I package 1.56, pm-utils will be demoted to Suggests.

But to use LMT, you'd still have to (because of the Conflict introduced
by pm-utils) use either one of it.
