Hi Arnaud and Kumar - In PowerMan, pm is an alias for "powerman". I believe I called that out as a bad thing in a code review some six years ago, however I failed to convince the maintainer at the time, and now doing so will likely break a lot of poeple's scripts. PowerMan is used for example by people's test harnesses to simulate loss of a server when testing distributed software.
So while I agree with you, keeping it in will likely avoid some pain. An option would be to remove it in debian/ubuntu only, as there is less of an entrenched user base there.
