In my book, it's spelled "flawed".

Sadly, it's now required by the `gnome' virtual package (actually maybe it's not required directly by `gnome' but by `gnome-desktop-environment' or other virtual package that's required by `gnome'). So it's difficult not to install it, and it's also difficult to install it but keep it disabled.

I have nothing about my users causing a hibernate or suspend on most of my machines (except when hibernate or suspend doesn't work, of course), especially if the user has physical access to the machine.
