Why can't we use /var/log/pm-{suspend,hibernate}.log created by pm-utils

I just see that your patch is actually doing this, redirecting the output
of pm-utils (which is the same as the content of the logfile) to the
suspend-output file. But maybe we still should just copy it because I like
to always have a /var/log/pm-suspend.log file.

Whether pm-utils writes it's own log file is not something I care too much about; standard rule of thumb is to be quiet if you think the operation went well so by default pm-utils should probably be quiet.

I just want pm-utils to be able to take a parameter so dumps useful logging information to stderr such that HAL can store that information somewhere even when the run is succesful. And as HAL is going to delete (or move) it anyway, the file should be owned by HAL, thus the /var/lib/hal location.

I'll commit something like the patch I attached later today or tomorrow. Thanks.
