pm-utils is going to be removed sooner or later, hence, it would be nice to know if this optional dep could be dropped finally
I'm afraid 'suspend' functionality depends on consolekit[pm-utils].
It seems it would rely on upower when running consolekit-1 https://cgit.kde.org/powerdevil.git/commit/?id=41d369f7c57b31f13cb120d09b3e9f71119d86f4 But maybe I am losing something as I am not familiar with KDE :/
You would think that, but hibernation option is simply missing without pm-utils installed.
Ah, ok I see in https://github.com/ConsoleKit2/ConsoleKit2 that, indeed: * pm-utils (optional, but required for suspend/hibernate on Linux) But I couldn't find any bug or similar that would show some information about the plans to not keep relying on pm-utils in the future :/
On the Plasma side we can workaround that by pursuing the move to elogind more aggressively, but this will conflict with other packages in tree not yet ported away from consolekit.
Since powerdevil doesn't use the dep directly, perhaps we could drop it and rely on consolekit[pm-utils] to manage the dependency.

In the overlay, this optional RDEPEND has moved from powerdevil to plasma-meta. Imo, using consolekit[pm-utils], which I did at first, would only lead us to changing $summary instead of solving it.
