HAL can just copy it over to its own namespace, then it's owned by HAL.

Hmm, I guess we're arguing details right now.... which means we basically agree 
:-)

Yes, I think so. I'm not arguing about the general idea about the error
handling. I just would like to see pm-utils quite separate from HAL. It's
easier to maintain and less complex this way IMO.

I don't think it matters much whether we do

 1. pm-suspend --log-to-file /var/lib/hal/foo

or

 2. pm-suspend --enable-logging
    mv /var/lib/pm-utils/logfile /var/lib/hal/foo

or

 3. pm-suspend --log-to-stderr 2> /var/lib/hal/foo

apart from the fact that solution 3.

 a) seems cleaner (no inherent knowledge where the log file for pm-utils
    is stored); and

 b) easily enables people to port HAL to platforms where pm-utils isn't
    available (think e.g. Win32 where it's not really desirable to port
    pm-utils and all of it deps (bourne shell) to).

So I'd like option 3. to be what we use. Anyway, we're arguing details here.
