Bug Description

pm-utils has been dead upstream for many many years, and in Ubuntu we stopped using it since Ubuntu 15.04. However, confusingly we still install it by default as plainbox-provider-checkbox recommends it.

Please drop this recommends. It's completely useless in Ubuntu, and for Debian it would only actually do anything with sysvinit. But there systemd-shim already Suggests: it. This is also enough, as these days drivers got fixed to work without the pm-utils suspend quirks.

.. but powernap actually uses pm-utils commands all over the place, so this would need to be ported properly to either "systemctl suspend" and friends (preferred) or directly talk to /sys/power/state (but this would prevent userspace inhibitors to work).
