Yes I have. I don't know which part of the comment you suppose I have
not read carefully enough but I guess it's the one about splitting the
package. But if you have read my comment you would have known that I
propose splitting the package in a different way than the one you have
mentioned.

Of course splitting it into pm-utils and pm-utils-modules would
require to have both packages installed to have basic functionality.
What I propose is splitting just the "power.d/*" part, so that after
splitting the package this way "pm-utils" would still retain 99% of
the functionality that "pm-utils" have currently (at 1.3.0-3) and if
one would want to have an extra of runtime power management that
person would have to install additional package. Without that package
installed pm-utils would still provide almost all of the functionality
it provided at 1.3.0-6.

You have also stated that you have contacted Martin regarding the
patch and although there is no file conflict right now there is still
a problem that the functionality overlaps. I also think that there is
a problem with it overlapping but proposed way of split would allow
99% of the former functionality of pm-utils to coexist with
laptop-mode-tools and people would have a choice of the package they
would use to control runtime power saving.

But... as I have also stated above what seems to be the best solution
to me does not have to actually be the best solution and I will not
stick to my idea stubbornly. :)
