I see this in Debian patchset 1.4.1-14:

# Remove hooks which are not stable enough yet
rm -f debian/pm-utils//usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/harddrive

And I've done same for Gentoo in pm-utils-1.4.1-r6 now. I'm closing this bug as fixed, since, obviously, the problem isn't there when the file isn't there :-)
