Saw on http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic that bugreports are welcome on the mailing list, so here we go :)
I'm running a default Ubuntu 7.10 (Gnome) installation. I configure the power management settings to put the computer to sleep after a certain period of inactivity. Once that period of time expires Gnome Power Management will put the computer to sleep even if Synaptic Package Manager is in the middle of downloading or installing packages. According to the Gnome docs, the player should call a dbus method when downloading/installation/reloading starts so that the computer doesn't sleep due to inactivity. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GnomePowerManagerInactiveSleep for more info.
